Here’s some on my list:
-
Red Dead Redemption 2 - I do not want to deal with the Rockstar Games launcher.
-
Tom Clancy’s Breakpoint - The game’s add-on packs feel like Ubisoft is trying to nickel and dime gamers who would instinctively buy the GOTY equivalent of a title. I do not want to deal with a Ubisoft launcher or account.
-
Zombi - According to the Steam reviews it required a Uplay login to validate the game before you play and that version of the Ubisoft service no longer exists. This seems to have been rectified but I still don’t trust it and don’t want to go through the refund process if it hasn’t.
-
Skyrim VR - I’ve already bought too many copies of Skyrim.
A bit of a “this is why I pirate” thread but more targeted at individual games.
And for all the money you spend on a Paradox game, you end up with something that feels like a half-finished beta.
It only feels like if you’ve played the previous, fully loaded $500 of DLC version.
On that note, absolutely steal Stellaris and its DLC.
