Why don't YOU have Skyrim?

It's an offline, single player game that I can get in in 6 months for $20 at a second hand shop, and still enjoy just as much as I would today. Also, every publisher thinks it's a good idea to drop games in Nov. so most of them will get pushed out/forgotten in favor of games I'm more excited about.
Because I don't care...?
Seriously, I don't. Yeah it's a really neat graphical re-tread of Oblivion, but that's not enough to make me care...

why should I?
sure I have it, but it's far from "god-in-a-box"
it's fun, but overrated as fuck
besides, I'm waiting for Serious Sam 3
until then, Quake and it's expansion packs will suffice

Because after a rental, I deemed that, while they've made some improvements since Oblivion (equipment degradation, stupid speech minigame, that godawful leveling system), the core problems that made me dislike the series are still there.
Level-scaling: Level up the wrong skill-set in the wrong ways, reach a point where one bear will rip your face off without a problem.
Lack of flow: The sidequests seem to follow a philosophy of "throw it all at you and see what sticks," giving no indication of relative difficulty nor reward, and a difficulty curve that was apparently inspired by the output of the dev computers' PRNG (and is unrelated to the reward value).
Unskippable voice acting: Yes, I get it. Your brother is missing, family feud, blah blah blah. Shut up and let me get on with it. I just heard all this crap five minutes ago before the game crashed/on my last character.
The only slightly less godawful leveling system: See level-scaling and for the love of the gods, don't grind lockpicking early!
Maybe in three or four years when the inevitable GOTY/Platinum/GH edition is available for $10 on GoG, I'll pick up a copy.

I don't own any of the current console generation and my parents refuse to buy a new computer, despite the fact that our computer can't even play morrowind.
I take this point of view regarding "free-to-play" games, setting a low montly limit that I would not overspend no matter what. With normal games I am the opposite: it does not really matter how much a game costs, as long as it is worth my time. I would probably buy Shenmue 3 for $300.DefiantWolf said:
I have no money.......At least...Not if I also want to eat.
Guess I will just have to wait a few more days.

It's not really the type of game I'd play a lot, and not meaning this in a bad sense, I don't want to waste the money on buying it.
That's not to say I think Skyrim is a crap game. I've watched it, it looks great, seems exciting, and my friends enjoy it! I just probably wouldn't think of it as the best 60 dollars I've ever spent.
