Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions
Although for some of us this is a well-known problem, it has appeared again with the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages so it's worth a quick PSA to remind people about Denuvo activation limits with Proton on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck.

I’m surprised denuvo even runs via proton.

It’s based on Wine/Crossover. EXE compatibility came literally decades before DirectX compatibility.

I just thought it did something akin to kernel anticheat, something fucky like that which wouldn’t run properly via proton.

I suggest not rewarding publishers with our money for Denuvo-infected games.

Agreed, I encourage people to follow the Denuvo Curator to keep track of which ones have it and possibly even ignore the ones that do (hides them from recommendation feeds).

Fair reminder everyone, if you wish to find out easily which games have and don’t have Denuvo I recommend following the Denuvo Games Curator which will tell you which ones have it and which ones used to have it. It’s a great tool for avoiding these games.

If it were up to the publishers they would force us to give them money against our will. They would shun people for choosing not to buy their games the way they shun people for pirating. Thankfully the first one is illegal and the second one is just so asinine and unreasonable that any publisher who did it would lose all respect for it. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want these things if they could get away with it. These publishers are way more evil and greedy than many of us really give them credit for.

Maybe it will someday, if they think it’ll make cracking harder or that there was something to gain from Windows lock-in they’d do it.
