Publishers / Devs I boycott

A list of publishers and developers I decided to boycott because of various anti consumer behavior, mistreatment of their own staff/developers or other bs they pulled off.

Rockstar games. It started with telling the community that there will be no PC version of gta 5. A year later , the PC version was announced alongside the current gen console releases. Just after everyone interested bought the game for ps3 or xbox 360. So did I and I was truly pissed about it. They announced plans for single player dlc, only to never release and drop them to instead pour the lowest required effort into the online mode of the game for years and making an absurd amount of money of it.

Then we have the completely fucked up "remasters" of the older GTAs, that replaced the original versions of the games in the stores...

Now they announced ports of the first Red Dead Redemption... for the Nintendo Switch and PS4 only...
Publisher NEON DOCTRINE for pulling Vigil: The Longest Night out of all stores without the developers consent in addition to not paying them.
Epic Games for introducing unnecessary exclusivity on the PC. There are even games that never released on steam and are only available on the epic launcher, like the kingdom hearts games.
2K for being one of the worst publishers nowadays. Lego 2k Drive is a dangerous game for kids that is designed to squeaze the wallet of the parents. it is incomplete and a worse offender than some mobile games.
