The spring Steam sale is happening right now. What games do you want to play but won't buy despite a deep discount and why? (leminal.space)

Here's some on my list:

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.

a few weeks ago I have seen watchdogs legion in a few streams an liked it. Recently it had a sale (maybe now again) but saw that it uses denuvo, the ubisoft launcher and that it needs a ubisoft account. no thank you. I'll rather pirate it and be reassured that it'll have less malware in it

I'm surprised this series of games isn't bigger on Lemmy just due to the whole computer, hacking, type aspect of the game.
