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.

    You can play the division (1)? I thought it was like a hybrid online game and most of the content is basically inaccessible (I got TD2 for free from somewhere).

      Yeah, The Division games are online. So can’t pirate them. But they very often go on sale (on Steam) for really cheap €5-10 euros. The problem is Ubisoft launcher.

      I’m not sure about content being inaccessible though.
