As gaming on Linux becomes more popular, Denuvo’s “activations” limit will become a bigger problem.

    Earlier this year, I got a game I liked on steam. Pretty much 3d Rimworld. After playing for 20 hours over a few weeks, I sporadically started getting errors about me having “no hardware activations” left for the game, and how I should wait 24 hours. I have never installed it on any other machine.

    It is so very silly that a pirated copy would be the more seamless experience.

      Yes, let’s all accept this reality and stop being useful idiots.

        Kenshi is the only 3D Rimworld like game I know and wouldn’t do anything like this.

          Probably Alien Dawn, it’s basically a 3D Rimworld clone

            Yup, Stranded: Alien Dawn.

          Same here, but “3D Rimworld” piqued my interest.
