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.

    1: I didnt even notice the sale is happening (too many sales… Spring, Easter, Summer, Fall, Halloween (same as fall?), Winter/X-Mas, publisher sales).
    2: Yakuza series.
    3: Any other game because I spent most of my time on YT (sadly) or on Jellyfin (still TV but linux ISOs).

    Also most modern games arent worth the effort.
    Multiplayer games would require friends I don’t have and those that I have (currently seem to) prefer games like Valorant (which I would play even less than CS2) or ZZZ (hoyo) which I don’t really like either.
    Single player games are interesting but I don’t feel like gaming anymore.
    But I did enjoy playing smaller ges like Exit 8. Fun game :)
