@gamingonlinux What prevents someone just spamming a lot of install requests and racking up a bill for the developer? @gamingonlinux definitely had the denuvo thing near P4G's release when I was trying to get the game to work without random crashes... hate DRM on legitimately purchased software, hate what Unity is doing. Shit like this only hurts legitimate customers and now also indie game devs, while pirates rip that shit out and don't give a damn either way. @gamingonlinux It's like they're not even thinking of basic security on this one... @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux This is supreme bullshit. I have 2 Decks, an Ally, a gaming laptop, a desktop, and some various other machines in various states of put together. I dual boot several of them between Linux and Windows. I shouldn't be costing devs stupid amounts of money because I like experimenting with hardware. What about reviewers who change hardware daily? So ridiculous! @gamingonlinux Doesn't make sense. If they don't rectify soon, they'll loose a big amount of devs. @gamingonlinux What would happen with a steam library on external storage that you switch between two devices? Would it count as two, one or a new install every time you run it after switching systems? |
Lmao: so with Proton on Linux / Steam Deck, if you swapped a game between Proton versions it would likely say to Unity there’s been multiple installs 💀
Denuvo trips up on that issue too. Disaster.
