I can imagine this just leading to Denuvo blocking linux platforms (if possible).

    Could, but that might be a hard sell to publishers with the popularity of deck, machine, steam OS, and just Linux rising popularity lately in general. Still a minority of the gaming market for sure but growing.

    Tbh, if you are already able to bypass their whole protection, this is just a few more syscalls to hook into - proton already does that work anyways because windows syscalls don't mean anything to linux boxes.

    Also, doing so would mean that piracy is the only way to play those games on linux, leading to mass proliferation of bypass techniques.
