    Not meaning to dispute your core argument, but your bar for “most disgusting company” is pretty low. There are factual companies out there profiting from war and famine, misinformation and oppression.

      I mean, they intentionally and knowingly destroy people’s lives because some poor fella pirated. They try to bully and destroy other companies by claiming patents after the company reveals what their game will be about.

      Sure, they’re not the worst company, but I’m not talking about companies that openly profit from war or whatever, I was talking about companies that pretend to be friendly while actively and intentionally hurting people.

      Making someone who doesn’t have hundreds of millions pay hundreds of millions for the rest of their lives for sharing a stupid few games online is pretty fucking vile in my book.

      But yeah, if I had to choose the vilest company in the category of looks-friendly-but-is-actually-evil, I’d probably choose Nestlé. Though all of the big 5 are also competing for the top spots.

          While I would agree that “worst” is hyperbolic, I don’t think you have any idea what bootlicker means.
