I would have been happy to keep giving them money too, if they hadn't kept doubling down on shady and abusive practices like tying digital purchases to hardware, forcing online check-ins for offline games, and patent trolling. That doesn't matter one jot, though, since the broad appeal of their products means their audience largely consists of people who don't notice or care about things like that in the slightest. Makes me wonder if that's part of the strategy, but then again, I doubt it's any different for Microsoft or Sony, so maybe it's moot.
