That said, I've never sought a refund on a digital copy of a game, but I wouldn't hesitate if I paid full price for a game only to find out there were in game ads permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kofe@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago I got the package deal with all of them over the summer and loved origins 😅 been working my way through them all to get ready for the new one. I was thinking I'd go this route of getting it and returning if I saw ads, but based on comments about the company having rape apologists I might need to do some more research before even bothering to take that risk permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Same. I checked out of the series back when they started enforcing U-Play use. I can't understand why anyone would buy any of their games.
