If the Devs are acting sketchy like they are for Halo Infinite, and include terrible grindy paywalls,  so that they can turn this beloved franchise into cash machine, then I'm not purchasing the game.  We NEED to datamine, and look for this kind of behavior because practically every single AAA game dev out there is a slimy bag of terds.   They act honest, release the game legit, and then later on turn on the slimy cash-grabbing mechanics a month after the game comes out.  The deceit has to stop, and we gamers need to look for this slimy stuff as early as possible - preferably before purchasing this trash before the Holidays as gifts.,(reply>), @tonycmac GOG exists, literally thousands of games DRM free, plus many games on Steam it-self are DRM-free.<br><br>DRM just like anything else, exist only as people allow it to :)<br><br>(Also, the Caribbean sea amazing with a parrot in your shoulder, don't eat propaganda argh argh!),(reply>), @Jose There will always be some DRM.  I don't support piracy.  I do support "Holding the Wallet" though.  It all started for me with that dogfart of a game ME3 - my first and last pre-order.  Day 1 DLC, horrid endings - the whole game was a ripoff.,(reply>), Dont buy games with DRM, it is that easy :)<br><br>This can only be done with hardcore DRM, otherwise you get everything by changing a text file :)
