    And plenty of games that do only have it for the first 6-12 months because it’s a subscription for them, before taking it out…

    Sega, Ubisoft, and Atlus being notable exceptions. They just leave that shit in forever.

      If they can afford then yeah I guess. I just don’t play those games, and we should all endeavour to boycott such anti-consumer DRM. It reminds me of the Sony Music rootkit controversy.

        Baldur’s Gate 3 deserved your money, but pirating Avowed was a good choice. I did as well and don’t regret it.

          You’re right, it absolutely did, that’s why I bought it 12 months after it came out and replayed it finally just recently. To me pirating games is just an extended demo, and if I like them a lot I buy them.
