Eh, not necessarily? I'm sure there are plenty of people who just play the games and aren't in the know of any drama going on behind the scenes. Heck, I'm pretty tuned in into what's going on in the industry and while I remember hearing some of this stuff back in the day most of it faded away since I wasn't particularly interested in the series.

I think it's better to remind folks about these situations than assume everyone is familiar with what's going on.

I personally love the games and had no clue this drama existed. Kind of regret buying these games now

You already played the games, you enjoy them - it is what it is. There's no point in beating yourself over (not) doing something without knowledge about the circumstances. No one is omnipotent and can avoid supporting every single shitty person out there. Just have fun with what you like and don't support the guy in the future, that's the best one can do in such situation in my opinion.

Same here, if there's any plan to continue the series count me out

I don't regret buying them, they are good games, but I don't Condone shitty practices. If you restricted yourself to moral or ethic right companies only you would have nothing to buy sadly. You buying a game != you accepting the ideologies of the leadership of said game.

Just get games you know you enjoy, and ignore all the dramatics that are involved. Life's to short to lock yourself down with it all.
