atrielienz, do games w ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

Was this before or after this: lemmy.world/post/29593011

Because I’m curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.

Well the game runs well if you just launch it with only one Proton configuration and keep playing on that. The issue is changing the Proton version is recognized as multiple installations by the DRM and it locks you out after a couple of tries.

atrielienz,

This is what I didn’t understand. Thank you for explaining.

Not that I would have bought it - not my type of game - but this game gets on my blacklist.

Fuck Microsoft. They enshittify everything and they support a genocide by helping to select targets to murder. No game is worth supporting this.

DeathsEmbrace,

Microsoft isn’t the only company helping Israel target children and women especially in there favourite location hospitals.

jsomae,

How is this response remotely relevant to the comment you’re responding to?

DeathsEmbrace,

Youre acting like we should only boycott Microsoft and there games because theyre supporting it but a lot of companies could have stakes in gaming companies and support the genocide its a team effort from NATO to support Israels genocide.

jsomae,

Well, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, as they say. Literally anything you buy, there could be a shareholder who is evil. But y’gotta vote with your wallet, and so it makes a bigger impact to boycott companies that are directly involved, rather than ambiguous or strenuous connections.

gamermanh,

Youre acting like we should only boycott Microsoft

The thread is about a Microsoft product, so of course they’re going to discuss Microsoft specifically

IndustryStandard,

This is true but Microsoft is the one which made the BDS list for being most responsible.

you aren’t buying doom because it has denuvo. im not buying doom because i am boycotting microsoft products. we are probably a little similar

Hawk,

Also it’s $80 fucking dollars for the base edition. Everyone complaining about Nintendo game pricing but Doom gets a pass apparently.

Yet more evidence that the smartest thing you can do if the game comes from a AAA studio is hold off on buying it for 6-12 months.

BlameTheAntifa,

If the game comes with Denuvo, never, ever buy it.

buddascrayon,

I think the point is that they often eventually remove Denuvo and it becomes a moot point.

mic_check_one_two,

Yeah, they pay fees to keep Denuvo in the game. So they only usually use it for the first 6-12 months, (long enough to capture the initial surge of launch sales), and then remove it to stop paying the fees.

BlameTheAntifa,

My point is that companies that use it are anti-consumer scum and should be actively boycotted.

Companies like Sega and Ubisoft never remove it, and in the case of Ghostwire Tokyo, Bethesda added it nearly a year after release, pulling a bait-and-switch on PC gamers that would never have it bought it otherwise.

These companies demonstrate that will steal your purchase from you whenever they feel like it. They do not deserve anyone’s money, not even 6-12 months later at 90% off.

If a company uses Denuvo, don’t give them money. Because that’s what you’re doing. You aren’t buying anything, you are just giving them money.

While it has Denuvo it can get fucked, they’ll remove it in a few years, I’m a very patient gamer with a family group that has 1.5k games in library.

CaptPretentious,

Same, I’m happy to wait for Denuvo to be removed, for the game patches to come out, and Nvidia to fucking fix their god damn drivers. Plus side, I’ll pay a reasonable price for the game when I buy it.

That probably explains all of the crashes reported by windows users too. ID Software what happened? You were supposed to be the chosen one.

Turturtley,

Owned by zenimax, owned by microsoft. Same owners of activision blizzard. Shafted Mick Gordon. So this is kinda 100% as expected.

endeavor,

You must really fucking hate composers or not play games if you think ID is a contender for the best game studio.

I’m more and more convinced that Doom 2016 was the peak. Eternal had that one song that kicked ass but that was mostly it.

Kichae,

Doom 2 was the peak. 2016 was a strong reimagining of Doom 3, but it was already trying to be something Doom wasn’t.

explodicle,
@explodicle@sh.itjust.works avatar

I disagree. Doom 3 was trying to be constant darkness and horror. Never forget the lack of duct tape. Doom 2016 was a strong sequel to 2 with its wide open spaces and fast-paced action.

I don’t want to feel like I’m being hunted by scary monsters. I want to be the monster.

alehel, do games w ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

I never buy/install games with Denuvo. Guess it will be a while before I’m playing this.

Thanks to this news, there will be a version without Denuvo quite quickly. 🏴‍☠️

Only pay money for open source because you can actually own it

anti-consumer feature is anti-consumer. more news at 11
