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’m not giving America any of my money right now.
Other than GOG is there even any other storefronts that don’t give you a steam key that aren’t American?
I think GOG is probably just the best way to go at this point.
Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.
As an American i wish i could do the same.
I guess you can only support the least-fascist-right-now countries as much as you can?
As an American this is exactly why I’m not as well. GOG exists, and I have a decent library to fall back on regardless. Now’s the time for us to do that.
