Take Two is probably even worse, fuck them too
Yeah, that also means Zynga (who the fuck cares) and 2K can eat shit. Man, this boycott list just keeps getting longer and longer. So long, Civilization!
Union busting as well?
I hope their big release gets cracked and pirated on Day Zero
Probably will, but it's irrelevant if you boycott for realsies. Fuck 'em.
I have still yet to own a computer (across about 4 entierly different PCs) that the steam port of GTA 4 runs on, and now afaik it doesn't run at all due to a licensing thing.
It's all fun and games until it becomes a corporation.
Because obviously a corporation isn't about cooperating, but the top exploiting the bottom.
Do you mean corporation?
Yes.
Gross misconduct has no specific definition or limits. A company is free to decide that union activity constitutes gross misconduct, so this isn't a denial. It's just a way of saying "admitting that would get us sued."
