I just need to know which titles have it so I don’t buy those games. It requires an always online connection and that’s a major dealbreaker for me.

It's how Denuvo works on PC.

No? I’ve definitely played denuvo games on my steam deck completely offline. It’s like a once a month check or something.
And according to the website the drm is moreso hardware based, which is much more feasible on set hardware like the switch versus PC.
Fuck Denuvo and all but let’s keep speculation and facts clear

You are right, I mixed it up with something else.

Always on connection? For a portable console? Great idea

I will say this post isn’t completely true. Denuvo (on pc) requires online checks but from what I’ve experienced it’s typically every 2-4 weeks. I’ve played persona 4 and 5 on my steam deck without internet just fine.

even when I’m home, my switch is in airplane mode unless I’m actively playing online. it’s crazy how often some games try to phone home, never realized until I got into this habit and started seeing the “please turn off airplane mode” popup
