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.

    I really got impatient last year and just decided to pirate games left and right.

    I got Balatro, Iron Meat, Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection, MMPR: Rita’s Rewind, Sea of Stars, Scott Pilgrim, Shadows of Doubt, Bit Trip ReRunner, Xenotilt and Castlevania Advance Collection.

    I mean, it just feels like I’m seeing the same prices, every. damn. year. I’m sorry but I thought the point was mind-staggeringly good deals, not stagnated deals. And most of the games that are on sale, are games I don’t particularly care for. While everything on my wishlist, stagnates, regardless of how old the game becomes.
