I have to download pirated video games otherwise I can't play them offline on my handheld. They also launch 10x faster. I learnt that you can't use everything you own a copy of offline!

Which handheld, and what are 3 examples of games that launch 10x faster?

I'm not the person you replied to, but if you've ever tried to launch an EA game with the DRM intact it's awful. You have to go through like multiple loading screens for the "EA App" before the game will start and then sometimes it just breaks and won't launch your game even though the game itself is perfectly fine.

I use a mix of Goldberg emulator and GOG i prefer Steam though. Mostly for valves Proton compatibility layer and all that valve does for linux gaming. So if a game is drm free on steam i get it there.

Fuck denuvo tho that shit needs to die in a fire.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought everybody was making a big deal over Civ 7 getting an official release because denuvo doesn't work on linux?

I read people saying the lack of denuvo made the linux version the best version just for the fact that it's the PC release without denuvo?

Did I misunderstand?
