Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

Yes, it really does come to morals.

Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.

I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
Let's normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.

Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.

I have grown up with pirating. I didn't even know that you can pay for stuff for a while lol. Yet just the other day I bought the plushie DLC for portal revolution, caz it was an amazing experience, and it was a free passion project from the fans to the fans.

Yes, I do the anti-boycotting as much as I can too.

Also bought all the games I played growing up (the ones you can buy that is).
