Civilization veterans refuse to play Civ 7 until the dev removes this controversial feature

Civilization 7’s early access dropped on Feb. 6, allowing players to jump into the strategy game and build their own empire. However, it seems like many fans of the franchise refuse to do so until one malware is deleted.

Civilization 7 is using Denuvo, a third-party anti-tamper software that’s been heavily criticized by hundreds of gamers in the past few years. Now, many of them are refraining from playing Firaxis Games’ latest title because of the software. The players set up a massive discussion about Denuvo’s involvement in Civ 7 on Steam in August 2024. Since the title launched, the thread is more active than ever, with players claiming they’re not buying the game because of it.
