For me it is the other way around. At home too much distraction. In the office I can focus.

Anno 1404 and City Skylines

I cancelled my Xbox ultimate subscription because of the latest price increase. Eur 12,99 to Eur 14,99. Just no.

Cheaper to buy the games.

BattleBit and Fifa23

Made severall purchases on G2A and Kinguin and never had a problem. I only buy old games though and only from resellers with a lot of reviews.

Stopped with G2A however when they asked me to upload an ID.

Time is too precious for wasting it playing subpar games on mobile phones.

For me the best gaming experience is on the PC.

I do not think that it is complicated to join or use.

But many do not care about privacy and centralization and hence will not leave mainstream platforms. Also the network effect is strong.

Figured I can just play the Battlefield games for which I payed less and which is basically the same but with better graphics, sounds and effects.

Also I can buy it later again when it is on discount below Eur 10,00.

Crusader No Remorse, Crusader No Regret and Civil War Generals 2

I bought Battlebit Remastered, and refunded it after 70 mins playing.
