    • Games that are completed before release
    • Single player games that don’t require some random social media account tie-in (Rockstar, I’m looking at you!)
    • A really good 1st person open-world single-player RPG (since ES6 and FO5 are ages away, and will probably suck for the first year or so)

        A few years ago they added a launcher to all rockstar games. Much like the more recent 2k launcher it’s really only there to enforce you having an account and to accepting some t&c to play the game. Probably so they can force US people into arbitration, and harvest data.

        I recently got RDR2 from Steam. When I started it up, it presented me with a “you must also have a Rockstar account, and accept those T&C in addition to the stuff that Steam already requires. In turn, we will capture information that is entirely irrelevant to you playing the game; and by the way, would you like to subscribe to our newsletter, marketing, promos, and daily joke emails?”
