>> "It's certainly hard to feel good about being bought out by a regime that's very much at odds with progressive society"

Perhaps this uber progressive society we live in is, in fact, not such a great one long term civilization-wise?

TLDR is that it's activists in video game companies that will be complaining, not gamers, you know, that actual customers.

Gamers will complain, or just not buy, if the games are tainted by foreign autocrats.
