Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper

Requires 3rd-Party Account: 2K Account for Online Interactions

Somebody please wake me up when these atrocities are gone. (And thanks, Steam, for making them easy to discover.)

Linux port doesn’t have denuvo (: Don’t ask me how I know.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Do you know who made the port?

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Aspyr, the ones who made the civ 6 port

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't think so. There's no mention of it on their site.

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can't find it anywhere, I must have mis-remembered

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Maybe they did the port but don't want to claim it because the game sucks ass.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Aren’t they the same company who made the abysmal Star Wars Battlefront remaster?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

They do more Linux and Mac porting than any other company I know. Back in the day I believe they were actually game developer, but they seem to have become specialized in porting games specifically.

aspyr made the linux ports since alpha centauri (the best civ that has ever been made) afair

What makes you think that? It's possible that they did it in-house, of course, but there's no precedent for it. No previous Civ had a linux version done in-house.

I meant that it’s an official port, don’t know who didi it, sorry. But it was available on the high seas on the release day.
