Somebody needs to make a company shit list so I can avoid them. I got EA, Hasbro, Nestle so far.
spoiler alert though, it's literally everybody. because everyone else is doing it, it's not possible to survive as a business in a competitive space without doing, for lack of a better word, the devil's work. It will take a major social disruption to change this, but it won't happen in an organized fashion because we as a species are pathetic. The disruption will be the end of the world - North America cracking down the middle due to all the fracking, the Greenland glacier sliding into the ocean all at a go, something like that. FAFO endgame shit, due any minute now anyway.
Okay while I agree it's everyone.
It is absolutely possible for a single corporation to not be the shittiest possible person in existence. They just can't be public.
The stock market is the worst thing to ever happen to this country.
The stock market is the worst thing to ever happen to this world. FTFY
One solution is to support government regulation of these industries. Deregulation is the cause of much of this crap.
Well, if you deregulate patents and copyright (that is, abolish them, with only trademark laws remaining), then I'd expect only positive results.
Honestly its kind of extremely crumby that hasbro owns the wizards
The DnD games from the 90s on steam went up in price because of the success of BG3 they are now on sale forbtheir old price lol
Oof, glad I got all the Infinity Engine games in a Humble Bundle before BG3 released
list of the companies that arent garbage might be shorter
A little too short
Good luck avoiding most of them. They own everything.
Nestle doesn't just make Chocolate...
Samsung, Ubisoft, Epic, Chiquita, Dole, Apple, ...
Pretty much any big corp is gonna be really shitty...
Almost as if capitalism would mean "profits over humanity". I am shocked.
As am I! Just completely shocked!! And OUTRAGED!! /s
Create a github repo, put eveey company in the readme
Good idea. I may get on it if there isn't one already
Not that I know of. Just thought of if because I have seen similar uses before. GitHub has GitHub pages, if you want to create a website.
All of them.
