Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Wanted to try Hogwarts Legacy since it's on a big discount, but found out by a review that the game has a disclaimer that it will sell your personal information. Fuck that!

Anything ubisoft. They told us to get comfortable not owning their games and I am happy to oblige.

1: I didnt even notice the sale is happening (too many sales... Spring, Easter, Summer, Fall, Halloween (same as fall?), Winter/X-Mas, publisher sales).
2: Yakuza series.
3: Any other game because I spent most of my time on YT (sadly) or on Jellyfin (still TV but linux ISOs).

Also most modern games arent worth the effort.
Multiplayer games would require friends I don't have and those that I have (currently seem to) prefer games like Valorant (which I would play even less than CS2) or ZZZ (hoyo) which I don't really like either.
Single player games are interesting but I don't feel like gaming anymore.
But I did enjoy playing smaller ges like Exit 8. Fun game :)

The only game I'm kinda tempted to go find is the Sims 1 and 2. Not the rerelease. I want the originals

But overall, I have too little time and too many games already. I've been trying to find unique or fun games to stream

Ubisoft and ea games; I do not want to deal with the launcher and ubisoft games are just so incredibly bad. They're like marvel movies but less entertaining

• Persona 5 Royal
• The Division 1
• Metaphor: ReFantazio

I already bought Persona 5 Royal a couple of years ago on PS4 (Royal + DLC of persona on sale). Really want to replay the game on my PC with 60FPS but refuse to pay another €25-60 euros for it, besides it has Denuvo. I might purchase it when, it's at least €20 or below.

Similar thing with The Division 1, would like to play the game again and it's only €5 euro on Steam right now but the Ubisoft launcher is what rubs me the wrong way. Plus also already bought the game when it was just released on PS4. Still debating for this one since it's only €5.

For Metaphor: ReFantazio, it's still way to pricey and it has Denuvo. So I will just wait it out until either Denuvo removed or an actual good sale happens.

Yes, I'm a pirate (you might notice due to the instance, I'm on). I know we can emulate Persona 5 Royal and there's a way to play the full game of Metaphor: ReFantazio. But since both of them are immensely big story games, I would like to have them 'legally' (cloud saves, Steam wise). Plus another reason is; my backlog is quite huge, got at least 45 games still to play (with only half of the weekends to actually game)

Ubisoft games. Too unreliable.

I was gonna buy the foundation game, so I checked out the pirated version (fitgirl repack) first. Seems like it doesn't run quite as well on my laptop. Had to play in low settings to be bearable.

saved some money, ig. There's always next sale.

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

A couple of Sony games because they don't want to sell them in my country 🤷 They leave no other choice but to pirate them.

X4 Foundations Community of Planets Edition. Got it on GOG instead which was cheaper due to local prices. This is quite rare since usually it's the other way around.
