I never pay for "always online games" unless they are exclusively multiplayer ofc. Most games I buy or bother to play today are indie games and titles fram smaller (not AAA) publishers. And I prefer to buy them on GOG, Steam is also ok. If the game have additinal launchers or come with Denuvo or a similar DRM on Steam, its no dice and I pirate the game instead if it even interests me. <br><br>I'm reverting more and more back to older games and have gotten into reto gaming in the last decade. And I'm having more fun and greater experiences than with most modern AAA titles and what mainstream gaming has become. <br>I'm not only talking about nostalgic games from my own past mind you. But for the most part older games I never played or knew existed. And I can hands down say that Thief 1 &amp; 2 from 1998 and 2000 (both of which i played in 2017 for the first time) is better than Thief 2014 for example. And Kotor 1 &amp; 2 are still great RPGs with some of the best storytelling and characters in videogames. (played them for the first time in 2017 and replayed in 2020). <br><br>I played and completed Metal Gear Solid 2 &amp; 3 on the PS2 for the first time ever this year and those are some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. There is a vast ocean of amazng indie games out there. But modern games in the sence of AAA is overrated.
