Ah. You are indeed correct. However, Wine is actively improving this (it doesn't crash immidiately now in the latest builds of wine, although it doesn't work either), and with any luck we'll get the game within the decade. Not exactly encouraging, but we ought to get a fix eventually.
Personally I'm not interested in Wine improving DRM support. So I don't mind the fact that the game is failing there because of DRM even if I don't like that the game doesn't work in general. The shame is the fact of DRM usage, not that Wine doesn't support it.
More likely though, Denuvo will simply be broken for good (it's already happening), and versions with DRM removed will surface.
Yeah, but I'd rather not play the game illegally, if possible. As bad as it may be, the DRM is the dev's choice...
You know, I was going to finish that sentance, and then I remembered what DRM is, and what it does. In short, I came to my senses. Somebody should crack it ASAP.
