why is there drm and anti cheating on a single player game

DRM - Copy protection Anti-cheat - Data harvesting, albeit Doom doesn't have one

Jup, I just never buy games with Denuvo these days.
Under Windows, the 5 machine activations per 24 hours limit they impose wasn't something I ever hit, but under Linux it's kind of easy because, as the article states, switching Proton versions counts as a machine activation to Denuvo.
Ah, Microsoft. Just when I thought you understood how to properly release a game with South of Midnight and TES: Oblivion Remastered: Steam Deck verified, no Denuvo or other intrusive DRM (doesn't mean the games are DRM free), available on multiple storefronts. Along comes Doom and they just couldn't resist Denuvo. Idiots.

That limit isn't mandatory with Denuvo and Doom apparently doesn't have it. On Steam some games mention a limit on the store page, like Atomfall, Atomic Heart or a few Assassin's Creed games.
The Dark Ages EULA does mention something like Denuvo "may" limit installations, but then never says anything else.

This is why we don't support games with malware in them.

Yep, this is an old problem with Denuvo, new proton version looks like a new system. I guess if the containerization is perfect, Denuvo won't be able to solve this and retain the same functionality.

Cool i wont be buying it then. DRM only hurts legit customers

My inability to afford a GPU with raytracing is locking me out of the game.
