I would choose nothing, but thankfully there are loads of fantastic games that don’t ship with malware. I give them my money, instead.

Pssst, there are FOSS games

That nothing sounds a lot more appealing. Please, tell me more.

That took me longer to get than I'd care to admit but well done.

It made me include at least one none space character but it worked out I suppose

Sadly most people don't have the same view it seems...

If it were up to the publishers they would force us to give them money against our will. They would shun people for choosing not to buy their games the way they shun people for pirating. Thankfully the first one is illegal and the second one is just so asinine and unreasonable that any publisher who did it would lose all respect for it. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't want these things if they could get away with it. These publishers are way more evil and greedy than many of us really give them credit for.
