Basically Activation and Blizzard with their sexual misconduct, harassment, and otherwise. Their CEO defending it. The allegations of toxic work environments, etc. It's just not a company I support, despite the fact that I was a huge fan of their games. There's a lot more information out there, but I don't feel like going through it all. I'll remove my post if you want.
Maybe I'm just being salty? I don't think so though.
Edit: Sorry Chris, if I am out of line or didn't provide enough info in my original post.
I hear you and understand where you are coming from. If I were to dig down into every single product, that I use in my day-to-day existence, then I'd probably find dirt everywhere. I'm not sure what I'd do at that point. Throw the baby out with the bathwater? It's a tough position to be in.
No doubt. I agree. I try to stay out of things for that reason, but this was big news for a couple years and is still going on. As a gamer, it was unavoidable. The number of reports coming out of that company is concerning. But I do try to separate art from the artist when I can.
