    • Anything from EA.
    • Anything from Ubisoft
    • Anything Epic exclusive.
    • Anything with Denuvo (or whatever is the next intrusive DRM).
    • Anything competitive PvP multiplayer.
    • Anything “free” to play.
    • Probably almost all general multipler & live service by now - or otherwise full of dark patterns to keep me “engaged”.

      I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.

      There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.

      I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.

      For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.

      But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.
