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 got fed up with Rockstar Launcher so I got myself a cracked version of Red Dead 2 a few days and I can’t believe I put up with that goddamn launcher for as long as I did.

    Next up I’ll be trying the Red Dead Redemption remake/remaster.

      I’ve had such a hard time managing to get these games specifically because I’m new to the games side of things. If it’s not against the rules/ you don’t mind answering, which site on the megathread did you use to get it?
