This is something I will never understand. It has to be some sort of brain disorder. Like, people know there are OTHER THINGS they can spend their money on, right?
Even with games that look objectively shit, like Dragon Age: Veilguard, I still saw people on this very forum saying "Oh, I'll just buy it on sale," or "Oh, I'll just buy it and then mod out the woke bits."
I get that maybe you love fantasy RPGs, OK, I get that you want to enjoy one again. I love ice cream, but I wouldn't spend money on an ice cream that had a dog turd jammed into it. Yeah, I could buy it for cheaper, or eat around the dog turd, but let's be real, I don't want to eat an ice cream that's been contaminated by dogshit in the first place and neither should you. What's wrong with you?
