Would buying the game and playing it legally still slow down the game?

Yes, cracked Denuvo games actually run better because you aren’t running a virus anti piracy software in the background. It runs at the kernel level and Crowdstrike is a pretty good case study on why that’s bad.

Alright. I guess I understand why the best option is to NOT buy this game. But not only that, we need to all make our voices heard that Civilization is a game we WANT to play, but will not buy until Denuvo is removed.

Vote with your wallets, and let them know this choice cost them millions of sales.

Otherwise the NEXT game will have this too. Because we tolerated it.
