    Disagree, like yesman (lol) said it’s best to wait. I’m not that worried about playing games day one but I still want to sort the Devs, after they’ve patched out the bugs and removed DRM preferably

      If only buying games actually supported devs anymore. Devs seem to get fired for any reason nowadays.

      Bad game? Fired. Good game? Also fired. Popular game that people loved? Believe it or not, also fired. Develop a game only for the company to change direction and the game gets cancelled? Absolutely fired.

      You’d think these publishers would value talent as much as their intellectual property but they seem to not care anymore for either.

        Plenty of singleplayer games are from indies, those more or less support the developer.

        I get where you’re coming from and I agree the job security for Devs and the financing of games is fucked. It’s still disingenuous to claim that pirating the game has the same impact as buying.

      I’m not either, I get them on sale later, just pointing out why would they screw over a paying customer with DRM bullshit.
