but, yeah, I kinda agree with the sentiment. it feels impossible to have any interest in purchasing almost any new game from any studio and any publisher (outside of indies and, like, maybe three exceptions), at this point... or, honestly, the same's true for most other forms of media as well.

I'm not at that point yet, it's Bethesda specifically I dislike.
Starfield being a soulless corporate snooze-fest soured my view of them, in a way that none of their prior missteps did.

for me it's _mostly_ Konami that I feel this about. but at the same time, it's Konami, so it's not like I've really missed out on anything, seeing as all their flagship series have been dead since 2015 anyway (sans remakes, releases, and spin-offs).

to be completely honest I don't feel like I'm missing out on much with any of my other boycotts either. like, for me, Take-Two was pretty much just Borderlands and I do not care what happens in that series after 3, those characters are dead to me.

the only one that kinda hurts is Ninty, but like, ehh.

and, I mean. I've always kind of leaned indy anyway, so in reality, the amount of sacrifice I'm actually making is kinda negligible.
