for those who dont know. in the piracy communties there are new cracks for denuvo that use hypervisor. they often crack it day one now.

so i suspect denuvo will become a hypervisor itself to stop piracy,as a result it will need windows driver that proton wont be able to translate. thus making any denuvo game with these new protections not run on linux.

what do you think?

I think it'll be a tough sell for game developers. Steam Deck and the Steam Machine are now "real consoles" and supporting them is seen as important.

The optics of blocking support for a platform people expect the game to be playable on using a technology that games are openly hostile towards would be really bad.

You can draw parallels to anticheat, but gamers are generally more accepting of anticheat than drm.
