There's a different reason why this game should go on people's boycott lists. The developers patched the game, and have a DRM specifically to prevent modding(it bans you for modding), and issued DMCA takedowns against mods. Apparently removing the filmgrain filter was too much of a crime against their artistic vision or something.
So, as anti-consumer as they are, they're not getting my money.
Turned out to be a case of stupidity, not malicious intent. They have issued retractions and apologies for what happened.
