  Literally the company that RDR2 portrays as the bad guys, that sued the makers of the game and lost because they objectively ARE the bad guys.

    They have also had EVERY opportunity to rename themselves, over a century, and haven’t, which means they want the reputation the name has.

      If you had a business that boiled down to “corporate mercenary” don’t you think it would be incredibly convenient to have a reputation as a villainous bulldog?

      There are very few companies who get to pretend they don’t give a flying shit about people. This is one who will thrive on that reputation. Pinkertons and whatever Blackwater is now.

        There’s a difference between “villainous bulldog” and “your association with them may get you shot in parts of america” (Appalachia IIRC)

        And yet Blackwater has renamed itself again and again.

        Apparently there is a “whoops, too much” level of villainy, even for villain factories.
