If someone is conflicted then best is to wait for a steep sale, bundle, or giveaway so it's a decreased cut. Either way it's a win win for the wallet and I don't most people have trouble finding time to finish games and a backlog that keeps growing than having no games to play.
I agree. If you buy a game brand new, you are telling the publisher that you want this game and support whatever they're doing with it. All those FIFA/CoD players who buy on day 1 no matter how much garbage micro transactions added? They've accepted it with their wallets.
Buying on sale, it says you're budget friendly while still kinda on board or willing to look away. I say a lot of shit about Ubisoft. But I absolutely buy their games at like $10, DRM toxic sexual harassment company BS and all.
Pirating, it means you don't give AF. Probably the best solution of you wanna give a company the finger. But also willing to take some danger with you.
State of Fifa and NBA games is depressing. Even the annual release for roster updates wasn't something I liked, but it being full on freemium casino at annual full price is why I stopped getting sports games years ago. Left too bad a taste to get ripped off like that.
