After thinking about it for weeks I think I've finally settled on buying it, assuming day 1 performance is good. No preorders. I'm not installing that denuvo garbage on my pc though so at least civ 7 has finally made me switch to Linux last weekend.
Denuvo is fully intact under Linux though. It's actually even worse than under Windows or at least it used to be, because switching between different Proton versions actually counts towards the 5 machines within 24 hours limit.
This is a native Linux port I believe.
Running through Proton may still be preferable, depending on the quality of the port.
So then it'll have native Linux Denuvo I guess..?
I've seen rumours of native Linux support for Denuvo, but I don't believe there have been any native Linux ports that have used it if it exists.
I would’ve bought it day 1 assuming reviews come back okay, but I refuse to ever spend $70 on a base game. I’ll wait for a sale if that’s what they’re charging.
Yeah, that's totally fair. Besides denuvo that was my other concern. I only buy like five games a year though and never at release so I thought I'd treat myself xD
I'd probably recommend to anyone who hasn't sunk hundreds of hours into any of the other civ games to just buy 6/5 and play that until 7 is on sale with a dlc or two. Seeing as how notorious civ is for being worse than the predecessor without dlc.
Totally agree with most of what you said. Trust me, I’m ready for a new Civ game. Just don’t feel like getting gouged especially for a series that routinely goes on deep sales.
