As an Anti DRM Gamer who really does not buy Games featuring Boot/RootKit i wonder if itd be possible to consider somehow a Ban against Denuvo, VM Protect and all these other Bullshit DRMs that go into your System and arent just tied to some kind of Online Service like the Steam Store for Example >.>
Would that even be feasable in the EU considering that we got osme Stricter Laws than lets say the US regarding Multi Media Content :P

    Chances are basically zero.

    Steam should refuse to list games using any form of kernel-level anti-cheat. It is inherently insecure, reducing the security of your system even when not playing the game, and there is no way around that.

    But they’ll never take a position like that for consumers. That’s what GOG does.

    Don’t think so.

    However we are seeing more games with denuvo remove it after a year.

      I mean thats true but i would say that the Chances of Denuvo and other such Cases are still a tiny Fraction of what they could be sadly :( Like for example even the Persona Games or any SEGA game really has the Issue of using Denuvo or some other kind of VM Protect Bullshit still multiple Years after it was released on PC >.>
      Only exception being the Yakuza Games really >.>

      For Example the Mega Man Legacy Collections besides 1 still use Denuvo :(
      Or the Dragon Quest Games for example :(
      tho i just hope that the DQ Games atleast follow the previous Games example of Denuvo being removed aftzer a Year or so like they did with the DQ HD Remakes >.>

            Given usually adding capitalization to words not usually capitalized usually is used to convey some sort of emphasis, its harder to understand what its being conveyed.

    Honestly, the world has so many much bigger problems.

    If gamers really want it gone they’ll do what I do and vote with their wallet. We’ve already seen some ramifications of that, with publishers sometimes removing it after just a few months or a year.
