I wasn't referring to games being shut down. I was referring to how denuvo stops you from playing the game if it has issues phoning home for whatever reason. My hatred for denuvo began when it locked me out of monster hunter for 24 hours the one time I wanted to come back to playing it.

Same. Although mine became a lot less useful after becoming a night owl.
I wonder if they would still hold that opinion if they were locked out of a game they paid $70 for, while the ones that got it for "free" can play it without any restrictions. Piracy is just as much a service issue as it is a money issue.
Same. I am surprised I've been able to use it for so long without any issues.
Same here. I have yet to experience any issues on firefox+ublock, newpipe, or revanced.
No, it does not access your account at all and stores subscribed channels locally within the app. But there might be a way to transfer your subscriptions over if you can find a way to export them from your youtube account.
Not sure what folders they are usually in by default, but I set my mounted drives to be inside of the /mnt folder because I didn't like wherever they were originally mounted to.
I got lucky that almost all the multiplayer games I play run under Linux. There's only one or two that I would need Windows for to play again.
HotS is the only MOBA I actually enjoyed playing.
There is a whole list of drm-free games that will work without the launcher or with instructions on how to make them run without the launcher. If a game makes use of Steam's APIs, it won't run without proper authentication when opened with the launcher even if it is drm-free. You would need to launch it directly from the game's files in that case.
There are examples of subtle difficulty shifts too, such as RE4. The game will spawn more/less enemies and change drop rates based on player performance.
I saw a Ocarina of Time one a while back. There is also some tool that can link randomizers of different games togther.
