Not casting aspersions or trying to cancel Skyrim Grandma, but the BDS movement is calling for a Microsoft (and by extension Bethesda) boycott. If you're thinking about buying Oblivion Remastered, maybe don't.

If you have an ethics dilemma don’t buy any video games. None of the studios are doing what they should or paying their people well. None of these corporations are your friends, end the billionaire bosses aren’t good people, not even Gabe.

It’s Microsoft today, Nintendo yesterday, Sony the day before, steam tomorrow, cycle back, etc.

Again you may as well quit gaming if you’re worried about corporate greed

This isn't an ethics dilemma. The BDS movement is specifically calling for this boycott. I'm trying to stand in solidarity with them in my own small way.

I don’t know what bds is and why they’re boycotting

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. Microsoft is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians, as shown by the recent outburst of employees working on tools used by Zionists to perpetuate apartheid in Israel's territories.

Here, someone gave more details:
