Is there a community list of VG company not to buy from?

Kir@feddit.it to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 171 points –

After reading today EA's takes on AI and strategies about boosting user monetization promoting and exploitation of user's gambling addiction, I asked myself "How can someone defend those company agains boycotting and piracy?".

So here I am: is there somewhere a curated list of VG companies to absolutely avoid giving money too? If not, do you thing we should do it? It would be nice to have a list with arguments and sources in order to make more publicly relevant the ethical and strateical reasons behind piracy.

p.s.I think it's ok if you pirate things even without a moral stand behind, especially if you can't afford games and other media at all, but the arguments still apply

Then google 'Sony rootkit CDs'.

I get so excited anytime someone else remembers this shit. Thank you.

Never forget, Sony CEO response was basically "The people who had a rootkit installed on their machine don't even know what a rootkit is; why should I care."

Well, fuck around and find out.
