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

    One of Steam’s selling point to developers is that it has easy DRM tools for them to use. Bethesda probably added their own DRM on top of Steam’s. But no for profit company is going to let you pirate software they spent thousands or millions to developed.

          Shows how much, most companied wont want to give you DRM free stuff.

          Who knows, maybe they are gaining side-revenue, selling your memory scans.
