Need a search filter to exclude title using Denuvo Anti-Tempering
I've played competitive gaming before, I can understand the need for this kind of Anti-Cheat for multiplayer, MMO, MOBA, sure, it's necessary if you want fair gaming for online community.

But for the love of god, I don't understand the reason for this at single player level....

Anyways, I have no means to ask game maker to stop requiring this technology (as it could also be used to protect files maybe integrity?), I just wish Steam Search has this filter, so I may filter it out (since most of them don't actually use this DRM tool), but it's very annoying to watch the demo, look at in-game pictures, and decide to buy or even bought it... only to realize it's not a trainer-friendly single player game that requires me to refund after I've installed and ready to play.

It's so annoying to the point that I have stopped buying games from Steam... Civilization 7 Refunded... PLEASE added it to search, saves a lot of time and game-buying experience.

I dont like Denuvo as a concept.

That being said, I have never had an issue with a Denuvo game, personally. Its a non-issue.

Yes please! Not just in Search but in General. And I would say, allow filtering out games that have any form of extra DRM protection period, other than Steam itself. Extra launchers are especially egregious.

Why? What's the difference with any other filter option? Any filter potentially reduces sales. This goes in favor of consumer satisfaction. If it's something you don't want to buy, they could let you specify it, so they won't show it to you, just like they do with adult games.

No why, just because. Valve won't tell you why. But the why is because they won't add filters that reduce sales.

I would happily side with the anti-AI crowd getting an AI generated content filter if we got a denuvo filter in exchange. Compromises that make everyone happy are vital.

Well, it might help to remember that you also are not a Valve employee.
