I really don’t know what to say about the modern pcgamer, at least the terminally online one like this.
I don’t want to being whataboutism into this, but you likely support many companies that do truly terrible things every day, but this one is a bridge too far? This one? It’s wild.
Eh, you always can. But that’s beside the point. The point I’m making is not that you don’t boycott other things, it’s that this is the only thing you choose to. Which is just a symptom of being online in toxic places waaaay too much. You just shouldn’t care this much about a mostly harmless video game company. It’s super weird.
It’s like when those weirdos keep voting EA as the worst company of the year every year, like EA? Really? Okay, that’s where your priorities are.
How dare people continue to boycott shitty companies.
Issue comes up when people start praising Valve as some godlike entity in comparison.
In comparison they are.
Feel free to boycott it. Just don’t go around telling others which store they should be buying from like you did at r/pcgaming.
Literally nobody in this thread told you that you couldn’t. You’re not a fucking victim here. I had an opinion and I expressed it.
If people online telling you that you’re wrong influences you so much, I’d say that’s a personal problem.
“Why can’t you just boycott silently?!”

This is a very easy one.
I can’t exactly boycott a food company when 99% of what I can find is probably from them under a different subsidiary.

What else do you expect me to boycott?
Other than essentials, games are the only thing I buy.
