      At that point play the free alternative and dont give your money to Microsoft. Do you love throwing your hard earned money at Microsoft?

          Have you tried the free alternatives? I guess to me its not the price alone its the principles of giving Microsoft money.

              Cause they have a history of embrace, extend, and extinguish, and they have played a key role in enshittification of tech and internet.

      They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.
