This is capitalism at its finest. I do not have time to care about the people who made this. I do not want to care about them. I am too overworked to have time to find another hobby. I just want to escape by any means necessary with others before I must return to the grind. I understand this feeling completely and don’t fault you.
We arguably live in a golden age of gaming, there are so many goddamn games to play and people still swarm to the one made by companies that fucking killed people and are actively working to milk as much money out of you as possible and to make the hobby you enjoy worse in the long run in favor for short term profits. This is why people don’t take you people seriously.
People are generally pretty keen on being on their high horses when it comes to philosophical questions about which company is “good” and how no one should play their games ever because of previous mis-steps
It’s pretty unrealistic to expect the vast majority of people who just want to play games with their friends to not play them because of ideological reasons.
You don’t have to expect the vast majority of people to see things your way, but you can explain to your friends that it’s important to not support Blizzard due to X, Y, or Z, and then you can play Grim Dawn or something instead.
Okay Mr Redditor, but I just want to enjoy this game with my friends on the weekend before coming back to work on Monday

You can play another game
No, they have to play the one made by a company known for its toxic work culture.
Not that that isn’t like 80% of the industry, though…
Gamers are so goofy, I swear to god.

Sucks to not be about to play with your mates
