Any Chance of Denuvo possibly being Banned? (feddit.org)

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.
