> You say this as if these people are being inconsistant. They absolutely are. If you disapprove of a company’s practices, the first move is to not financially support that company (no matter how small your individual contribution). The second move is advocacy.

And it’s a pretty a poor one at that. > People buy individual games, not reputation. CDPR’s release of CyberPunk 2077, and the hype leading up to that puts lie to that assertion.

In fact, aside from marketing, CP2077 had no real reputation of its own when it busted preorder records.
