Which games have given you a hard time? I don’t think I’ve ever chosen not to buy a game based on Denuvo’s presence, and certainly some of the games I play have had it, but the only things that have caused compatibility issues for me are the usual culprits of anti-cheat and Windows video formats.
As he mentioned, the OS is Linux specifically. Just this week they literally removed support for Linux on Battlefield 1 and there was a helpful message as to why when you tried to play the game that had previously worked fine.
I’m a firm believer that if a developer or company decides to brick your software/purchase even years down the road, they should be required to re-imburse you the price paid. It doesn’t even need to include full game closures, but like shit like this where you buy an item, then they update it which makes it so you no longer can use it should require it.

I’m also on Linux, and your link refers to anti-cheat, not Denuvo. I acknowledged the former as a problem, but I haven’t had issues with the latter.
