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

    Eternal had Denuvo, but it was removed a year ago, so it probably doesn’t have to do anything with the lower numbers on Steam.

    My guess is mainly price and RT.

      Or people didn’t care about Denuvo back then, but they are more wary about buying games with Denuvo now.

        Dragons Dogma 2 has Denuvo and a 230k peak. Wukong has Denuvo and 2.4 million peak. FIFA 25, Denuvo, 110k peak (all three just from Steam).

        “Normal people” don’t care about DRM.

          Yeah, maybe you’re right.
