    how is this any different than buying an EA or Ubisoft game on steam?

    I don’t buy that bullshit either.

    This bullshit has been normalized for awhile

    Only because people like yourself allow it to.

      Gotta give it to EA and ubisoft tho, they really help me boycott them. I wish I could say it takes some effort to avoid their games or that I would buy them if they were good companies but damn, I don’t think they released a single interesting game in the past 10 years

      I think you guys all missed the implication that I think EA and Ubisoft games suck. Why am I buying games that suck?

        Your comment read like many I have seen in response, suggesting that “normal”= acceptable.

        I don’t really care if EA or Ubi games are good or not. In either case, the problem is not the game, it’s the publisher.

          Yeah, I could have worded that better.

          I suppose I have accepted it as just the way it is and will be, which is a shame, but I don’t buy their products either. I would love to play the new God of War, but I don’t need to that badly. There’s plenty of other great games out there without this bullshit which I would rather support
