A bit late though. When it came out, I would have liked to buy it and play with friends. Now everyone moved on to other games.

It's surprising they've paid for an anti-tamper for THAT long, instead of spending those money to keep updating the game.

That's why they removed it. It's a subscription service that they pay for when the game is popular, and when everybody moves on, there's no reason to keep paying.

Regardless of one's opinion on DRM and piracy, Denuvo is very effective at what it does. They don't care about losing sales from people with principles, as long as nobody can play without paying.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


For those of you who wait until Denuvo Anti-tamper gets removed from games, you'll be pleased to know Back 4 Blood is now free of it.

As shown on SteamDB, the notice about it having Denuvo Anti-tamper was removed and it's no longer noted on the Steam page.

Nice to see, especially for Linux / Steam Deck players because swapping around Proton versions can cause you to get locked out for a day.

On top of that on May 15th the developers noted an update that "addresses an Easy Anti-Cheat issue for Steam Deck users where players could not access the game" (which would have affected desktop Linux players too).

So it's good to see that Turtle Rock Studios care about their players on Linux systems.

Back 4 Blood is currently 90% off in the Humble Store sale.
