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

Here’s the link to the previous post with denuvo as a question

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.

Yeah previous ones ran fine, however there was a post on here maybe 4 months urging everyone to fill in a survey to convince firaxis not to cut off linux by using a particular anticheat that locks linux out in the new Civ7. I just assumed you were the same guy.

I’d hold off pre-ordering and wait for release as while there are Steam specs like you posted I also found a blurb about a denuvo DRM.

Having said that Steam are pretty good for refunds if stuff doesnt work

Have they abandoned the anti- cheat kernel bollocks that was going to lock out linux users then ?
