I’ve bought The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim five separate times, six if you count the free PS5 upgrade. First for PS3, then a used PS3 Legendary Edition for the DLC, then PC on a Steam Summer Sale, then a PS4 edition, then Nintendo Switch, and finally the free PS5 upgrade for the latest console generation.
