No, I'm not that guy. I also didn't know about what the guy did, before you telling me here. Officially there was no plans on adding Kernel level anticheat to the game, right? So what the guy did was not based on real information. Or did I miss an official statement?
Here's the link to the previous post with denuvo as a question

Interesting. Thanks for digging up.

I have looked at the Steam discussion board for the game and people seem to be unhappy (based on the official streaming to showcase): a) Denuvo is planned to be integrated (not sure if plans have changed), and b) game looks and plays much different than any Civ so far. So Denuvo might still be integrated, but game can be perfectly playable on Linux. Denuvo is not an anti cheat system, its an anti theft system against piracy.
I wouldnt buy it until after release given the Denuvo probability. I'd hold off until it's proven to work and doesn't break for Linux users. Civ6 currently works as both native linux and priton/windows version on my machine, but I know others have had troubles with the native version. If Denuvo prevents proton running the windows version then many linux gamers may have an issue.
I definitely counsel a wait and see approach.
I have bought civ3 through 6, I'm interested but def not committed to 7 and Denuvo and its personal datagathering is a redline no for me.
YMMV
I'd have to go back and find it, but no my recollection was that it was based on an official statement.
Certainly the survey was an official firaxis one.
