>> "It's certainly hard to feel good about being bought out by a regime that's very much at odds with progressive society"

Perhaps this uber progressive society we live in is, in fact, not such a great one long term civilization-wise?

TLDR is that it's activists in video game companies that will be complaining, not gamers, you know, that actual customers.

I'm sympathetic to people who take issue with being under the thumb of a regime that cuts up journalists

Gamers will complain, or just not buy, if the games are tainted by foreign autocrats.

People should always vote with their money. Give it to companies in sync with their views and withhold it from those out of sync. There is a grey middle ground where the decision is harder.
