I play their free games because i assume it costs them money for the license and every time I download something from their servers.

I just treat all of their offerings, regardless of cost, as polonium.

They sell the data collected from your activity to data brokers and in multiplayer games you serve as opponent or ally to paying customers.

If you want to boycott them, avoid them. If you want to play the games that's fine, just be honest to yourself.
