The launch of Civilization 7's early access has been met with controversy due to the inclusion of Denuvo anti-tamper software. Many longtime fans are boycotting the game until this feature is removed.

Players' main concerns about Denuvo include:

• High CPU and SSD usage
• Decreased game performance
• Unnecessary third-party software integration

Some players defend the inclusion of Denuvo, citing:

• Protection against piracy
• Security in an age of AI-powered hacking
• Industry standard practice (used in Far Cry 6, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and other major titles)

Current Steam reviews for Civilization 7 are "Mixed," with players praising the core gameplay while criticizing:

• User interface issues
• Limited map type selection
• Overall optimization

Despite the controversy, Denuvo is unlikely to be removed if the game proves commercially successful. The game shows promise but requires refinement in several areas to meet the high standards set by previous entries in the series.
