Slightly off topic but I swore off EA games in the mid-2000s due to customer hostile behaviour. A few years later it was Rockstar due to GTA4 DRM.

It's been really difficult not playing some of the big games, especially GTA5, but I just don't need that kind of stress in my life. Games are supposed to be fun.

Agreed. Sadly, the big-name publishers (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Zenimax) are all pretty hostile and they've bought the majority of studios, so its reeeeeally hard to avoid them. I try, but sometimes I fail. Sometimes I don't even realise I failed until later. I did buy exclusively indie games for a while, though.
