Yar har fiddly dee. Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free.
As "wrong" as stealing is, I find it more wrong that companies can keep fucking us over like this without reprimand. Triple A games are becoming more and more difficult to justify the new $70 price tag.
I haven't bought a triple A game brand new since like 2014 or something. I wait until they have some sort of sale on them first. Literally didn't buy Cyberpunk 2077 until very recently when they finally knocked it down to $30 a few weeks ago. It actually shocked me to walk by the games isle recently and see that triple A titles including yearly sports games are like $80 now. Crazy IMO. I might go back to reading books.
$30 is still too much. I have my alarm set to $10.
Btw, thre are lots of free eBooks too. I'm currently in the Jenkinsverse.
80 dollars!? I thought it just went to 70!
