The issue goes beyond “evil” company and free games – I don’t have 60 euro to spend in a game that has only 6 to 10 hour gameplay with no replay value.
Inb4 the moral high horsemen get here claiming they buy a game later if they think it was worth it. No, no they don’t.
Simple: I dont.
I don’t
its fun
I used to before, and since Steam got this demo thing in place, I stopped pirating games before buying them.
if there would be games that should be pirated, not that i pirate or anything, should be EA and Ubisofts or any other with their own launcher. Cracked versions go brrr without launcher
To supersede their different demands i dont like, mostly its a launcher/ forced to make account.
Just not liking the company. Just being “i aint paying 70 for this shit, but its seems interesting”
There must be more reasons but i dont feel like doing back and forths here
Just give him one free game
Poor 🙁
the issue is structural, not moral, companies aren’t evil, nobody “deserves” anything, and it won’t change anything even if we decide to boycott companies, because they aren’t doing this out of their own “evil” volition, they’re simply structurally bound to do these things…
so yeah, free games.
Demo’s. Pirate game. Play game for a bit. If i feel like paying 20,40,60 whatever bucks is a fair price, buy game. If not ill maybe wait for a sale or its just bad and i forget about it.
Last time I did that. My steam account got hacked
