I have no personal vendetta against any of these individual Devs.

My stake in this is slightly different. Like, when I heard about how Blizzard treated it’s own staff and then the whole sexual harassment thing popped up, I was done with them. From that point on, that company doesn’t deserve to exist and I blacklisted them. So i try to keep up with gaming related news.

More studios have joined that list since, for various reasons, and I find myself mostly playing indie titles from small upcoming developers now. I feel better about that.

I do believe we should be(e) kind. But I also believe kindness is a two way street.

But you see how this is different right? I boycott the vast majority of AAA publishers too, for the same reasons. That doesn’t mean I cheer when they do mass layoffs. It doesn’t sound like you do either.

  I see how it’s different. And I’m not making excuses for anyone.
  
  If anything, I’m saying I can understand where it’s coming from. But that doesn’t mean I’m onboard with it all.
