Pragmata: Blocking copies of the game on Linux and Steam Deck

Journalists from the specialized publication NotebookCheck have drawn attention to the situation with the Denuvo anti-piracy protection system, which is included in the technical specifications of the popular game Pragmata.

Данную DRM можно активировать лишь на пяти конфигурациях оборудования за сутки. Это ограничение не влияет на пользователей Windows, но при этом создает проблемы для пользователей Linux и владельцев Steam Deck из-за запуска игры через слой совместимости Proton.

Meanwhile, the DRM detects any changes to the Proton version (including adding launch parameters or changing graphics settings) as activation on a new system. Attempts to optimize the game's settings result in a 24-hour lockout of the licensed copy of Pragmata. The fact that Capcom's new title is a Steam Deck Verified title further complicates matters.
