The big publishers aren't making games I want to play anymore. There are some, not a lot mind you, I wouldn't mind playing but not until they come down to the bargain basement £5-£10 range as I just don't see them being worth £50+ when I can spend a lot less on a game I will enjoy at least as much. The games I now buy are all from small (let's call them indie) to medium sized devs such as Mimimi Games or Corteam. Having just browsed through my Steam library the last big budget game I bought at full price was FO:4 and even that was a disappointment. To be fair to it, it's not that it's a bad game as such instead that inevitably I compared it to FO:3/NV and it doesn't fair well particularity in the blandness of the locations you come across. The less said about handing you power armour straight of the bat the better!
