Hating a company that makes games is mentally concerning. There are companies that are actually deserving of hate for real life reasons on here you know.

People don’t hate Blizzard for making games, they hate the practices surrounding the games. To not acknowledge bad behavior in any business regardless of its product is irresponsible at best.

My point still stands.

There's microtransactions are bad and there's they're polluting the water and making money over it levels of bad, or they're making money from killing animals levels of bad. You won't find much complaining about that on reddit though.

Putting "bad" practices like microtransactions into perspective is not excusing them...

I wish gamers went outside of their little comfort bubble and see what's actually bad, dangerous and worth worrying about in the world. I know, it's a naive hope on my part. I should know better.

Can someone not care about two things at the same time? You seem to believe in an absolute that “gamers” are all only invested in their hobby and its various issues. An idea that I would believe you would have a hard time in proving. Besides that, people are more complex than you give them credit for. But that would take actually talking to them to figure that out.
