Whats the deal with Denuvo?

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you asking what is denuvo or why did Civilisation even bother with denuvo?

[–] Taiatari@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Tbh both. I gather from posts around the issue that Denuvo sucks ass / is not that popular. So now I wonder, why choose to include something that is apparently unpopular and why do people think it is dumb to include.

Its because civ is mostly played as a solo experience so deactivating the online would still make the game functional and keep the main point of attraction.

But it also looks like they're trying to micro-transaction the fuck out of it.

[–] Mechaguana@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

As is corporate tradition

its a pretty fkn big macro transaction too, $120 Australian for the standard edition is just taking the piss

[–] Ohmmy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

That's the price of the game itself but by the costumes and many leaders it looks like they're wanting to do actual micro transactions.
