I dislike how Michael makes everyone think Wine is unique to Linux and MacOS. I've actually never ran wine on MacOS, but I have run it many times on FreeBSD and following last years Google Summer of Code the NetBSD support is supposed to be pretty good too. The only major OS lacking wine support is OpenBSD and it used to work on OpenBSD a long time ago. Sorry for being that a hole but the *BSDs that support wine should get mentioned too!

3.) Ring 0 is an extremely dangerous place to run anything, specially a closed BLOB
4.) Denuvo can literally do anything and without a very deep security audit would be extremely hard to prove anything(because is operating inside ring 0 or lower) and since its commercial software to reach that level you probably need a huge amount of money on lawyers and some years to reach the point an CVE actually exists unless they want to like Microsoft or Apple do.
5.) The fact you cannot prove is doing anything illegal it does not imply is not doing anything illegal and you should always assume so unless you can factually prove is indeed not doing anything illegal(this is the most basic concept for cyber security), specially something running at a lower execution ring since no regular tool can be trusted to detect said illegal activity in the first place.
In the end promote trust on something that run on a lower execution ring(or even regular ones) because you think is a witch hunt(and whatever else he said) because there is no proof of wrongdoing is extremely naive

I disagree with point 5. It could be said I am arguing semantics, but the distinction is important, You should assume that it CAN, not that it IS. That is the difference between not using something at all, and implementing proper protections to prevent it from possibly doing something. IE. containerization.

Making the game unplayable for many since the firewall won’t allow for a smooth sail of operations. Denuvo […]
birdie sorry to say Denuvo has been labeled Malware many different times. The way Denuvo operates allowing remote command and control server to-do a lot of things without user approval does put it in a questionable area.

There are also times when native can be slower and be worse because of issues. Wine also solves that.Last edited by ix900; 09 April 2021, 09:39 PM.

I just wonder how do you wake up in the morning knowing that your PC runs closed source EFI firmware, and you most likely have firmware for your GPU, SSD, NIC, WiFi card and in some cases your sound card.

Kaspersky is a virus lol. It probably does far worse than Denuvo. Talk about extra code, attaching itself every way possible, using your computer's resources, removing things on you, causing problems lol. Denuvo isn't even that bad.Last edited by birdie; 09 April 2021, 09:36 PM.
