Edit: downvoted for not wanting to pay attention to stupid controversy about video games? Weird...

It's one thing to live peacefully in ignorance. I get it. it is exhausting keeping track of every shitty thing a company does when it's so much easier at the end of an exhausting 9-5 shift to avoid news and play your games guilt free without thinking about who it's hurting.

It's a completely separate thing to brag that your ignorance somehow makes your way of life superior.

People caring about these issues, and sometimes leading to actions being taken because of that, all makes the gaming industry, or to be hyberbolic; the world a better place.

It's fine to avoid news on controversy and just blindly enjoy games, but don't lie to yourself (and others) by pretending that it is a good thing.
