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 don't think I'll buy Stellaris DLC unless it's 90% off

Is the game on sale?

Many DLC are.

Idk about the base game

They're all still too expensive for me. Like Flight Simulator 2020. I do believe the effort they put into it is probably worth 35 €. But I wouldn't play enough for it to be worth 35 € for me. And I'm still salty about the time when they accidentally discounted it by 85 % instead of 15 % and snatched it right out of my cart when I was about to pay.

The latest Indiana Jones game, because it’s too damn expensive. It’s normally $120 AUD and has been discounted to $95 AUD. When it’s below $50, then I’ll consider it.

Hell Let Loose, simply no time.

I'm not sure if you meant literally no free time to play video games, or just not willing to make time for a perceived steep learning curve, but if it's the latter then maybe you could reconsider. The basics can be learnt very quickly via YouTube and it's possible to have quite a bit of fun casually playing an hour here or there as the Rifleman class simply treating it like a milsim Battlefield without ever diving into the deeper mechanics.

Ghost of Tsushima amd ff7 remake because I'm waiting for steeper discounts

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

any sims dlc or kit

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.
