Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game [404 Media]
Lembot_0002@lemm.ee 6 days agoAlong comes Doom and they just couldn’t resist Denuvo.
The important question is whether we, players, could resist Denuvo. Most of us fail in even more obvious shit-showeling.

Doom 2016 launched with a 44k player peak on Steam, Doom Eternal with a 100k peak and Doom: The Dark Ages only got a 30k peak.
Either most people play on Game Pass, think the game is too expensive, don’t have raytracing compatible hardware or don’t like Denuvo.
Whatever it is, the game doesn’t seem to be doing so great.

Eternal had Denuvo, but it was removed a year ago, so it probably doesn’t have to do anything with the lower numbers on Steam.
My guess is mainly price and RT.

Or people didn’t care about Denuvo back then, but they are more wary about buying games with Denuvo now.

Dragons Dogma 2 has Denuvo and a 230k peak. Wukong has Denuvo and 2.4 million peak. FIFA 25, Denuvo, 110k peak (all three just from Steam).
“Normal people” don’t care about DRM.
