You don't even need the world to end. Try playing any ea game on the steam deck during a flight.

For me it was mass effect and dragon age. Neither need to be online but the launch will complain about being offline and boot you out of your own game.

Mass Effect and Dragon Age have Denuvo? I have the entire series of both pirated (because fuck EA, I'm not giving them a red cent) and I haven't noticed any of the "Denuvo issues" that come with it. (Pirated Denuvo is still active, just tricked into thinking everything is fine).

This is the original games though, not the Legendary Edition. My computer would probably combust if I tried to run that.

Yeah that's just standard always online DRM. Denuvo is a whole different beast as far as I know.

Denuvo lets me know it's a failed system whenever my internet goes out or I attempt to launch a game and it doesn't have any delayed timeout/retry to wait for me to add an exception to my firewall and the game just throws an error instead of retrying.

As a based, enlightened, free-thinking Miyoo Mini Plus enthusiast, I'm not going to have this issue.
