Average game cracking time is now only 75 days. Why you still buy games?

Games-as-a-Service (Requirement of having a consistent PERFECT internet connection), Micro-transactions in your face, E-Sportz (everyone wants to make millionz just playing e-sportz), Red Shell spyware, broken updates, games that just flat out don’t work, poor customer service, customers getting ripped off, and of course DRM (fuck DRM).

So, fuck no. I have no interest in games today, I’m happy with what I got. I don’t even having interest in playing the cracked versions of today’s games. My feeling is, gamers will get ripped off no matter what, and it sucks to be them.

Games-as-a-Service

If you buy a digital version of a game then you should always pirate it. Just in case the game disappears from the market. Isnt that right Silent Hill P.T?

Or LawBreakers, yet another reason Games-as-a-Service is total and utter bullshit. If I pay for a game, I expect to continue playing that game 10-20 year later. Servers to be shutdown? Let the community run servers. Worked well for Quake, yet Bethesda seems to overlook that and screw people over with Fallout '76 by claiming you can run your own server, yet that was not the case. Of course, I'm getting off topic now. :P

Anyways, yes, if you own the game, make very sure you have that cracked version, in case that publisher decides to screw you over.

LawBreakers

Actually you reminded of me another reason why you should pirate games that you own. If the developers patch a game which ruins it then there is no way to get back your previous version of the game unless you have a pirated version or can somehow get the base version of the game and then only patch up to the 'working' version.

Kind of like Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, where the only redeeming feature of the game is the game breaking bugs (IE: the infinite jump bug). That was fixed, making the game boring AFAIK. :P

Note: I never played Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, I only saw some people playing it.
