True. I would never pay for AC Rogue, and after having completed the game, I can justify that decision. To me, it felt lile Black Flag but worse. Could I justify but I Black Flag on Steam, after already paying for it on PS4? Yes. Could I justify any purchase of Rogue? No, none.
Arguably if you completed the entire game, the purchase would be justified
I completed it because I started it (and it's a shorter game), not because I was actually invested. I've played Black Flag 3 times, I've paid for it once, and would both replay it and pay for it again. I've played Rogue once, and I have no intention of replaying or paying for it.
Its about justifying it to myself. I'm not rich and don't really have disposable income for games.
