I was an Assassin's Creed diehard fan, up until they fucked up the mechanics in Odyssey. Now, I wouldn't give 'Buggysoft' 2 dollars for their whole lineup. So, I decided to pirate every single AC game I could find, put it on my Steam Deck, and I'm only at around 40% of Black Flag right now after about 27 hours of gameplay. Going over all of them will provide me with at least 5 years of having something to play that I really enjoy. I'm hoping that by that time I can finally afford to build a console-like rig to plug into my TV and forget Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft ever made video game consoles.
Then there's the indie games I really enjoy playing, like Shipbreaker for example, that can run me over an hour for taking apart 1 ship alone.
None of those large studios will ever see my money again, and I sure as hell won't be playing GTA6 unless/until it is available in the high seas.
