The only company I really "hate" is EA, and they have their withered necromancer hands in so many pies I've given up trying to evade them.
The only companies I really "hate" are the ones that make games I think are shitty, like Infinity Ward.
And I don't buy games that I think are shitty and by extension support shitty companies.
Companies that can make good games, but have their heads up their own asses is a different story. (Ubisoft)

I agree with you 100% I remember reading a while back about a System Shock 2 remake mod someone was doing with Unreal Engine. They shortly received a cease and desist e-mail from the EA legals. The letter was very rude and condescending. Funny thing, they didn't have the System Shock name among their Intellectual Properties in the Copyright Infringement section.Fappy said:
Seriously. I'll even provide the link so I don't look like a EA bashing fanboy. Or something of that type.Fappy said:

I suppose they've gotten so used to owning so much stuff, they have to stop and think "Wait, Don't we own that?"

Yeah, he mentioned it in his post when he announced that they'd stopped work on the mod. He never put up an argument with EA or anything. I thought it was pretty funny. You'd think that they would have something as important as System Shock up there. One of the most influential games in history.
I've mostly bought Bethesda games out of a constant sense of curiosity. Its odd especially when Bethesda's games all play so similarly but there are very small almost hidden details that sets each one apart. Also, I like to maintain collections that have proven to be decent if not excellent (which is why I don't collect FF games).
I won't quit supporting a title because the publisher sucks. If I don't like the dev though, I have no interest in buying their product as I see it. To me, a developer is only as good as their product. Bad products = bad developer not the other way around. Which is why I have no inclination at all to buy a bad product. Even a bad developer can fall ass backwards into a good game.
I don't buy games from companies I hate. Sometimes it is hard to avoid though. I'm not a fan of EA but they've consumed so many companies it's nearly impossible to avoid them 100%. So I try to minimize the games I purchase from them. Kingdoms of Amulur is the last game I buy under EA for a very long time. I also don't buy from Bioware or Ubisoft anymore either.
I think the only companies I can actually say I like is Bethesda and CDProjekt.

This. Origin's terms of service are the only thing that separate me from Mass Effect 3, Crysis 2, and Battlefield 3. It's not that I hate them as a publisher, I hate what they're doing to the digital distribution market.Fappy said:
Other than that, I hate Ubisoft for their outlandish DRM, but hey, they made Red Steel, Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed. I can't really say no to that.
I don't go anywhere near EA/Bioware and I avoid Ubisoft, as the only thing I enjoy from them is Rayman, yet I doubt I will get Rayman Origins. I don't boycott, I just avoid them like the PLAGUE!
