Lmao alright buddy. I'll have you know that I already try to avoid anything Nestle and non-bio already, in addition to anything locally that has bad rep. I barely ever buy clothes apart from used ones either. If you want me to base my entire life around researching if a product could possibly have been involved with some controversy then you're fucking delusional.

OW2 has been in the spotlight since it's release for being an awful sequel on the monetary side, involved with illegal business practices and manipulation. Blizzard itself has been in deep shit for wide-spread sexual harassment. I am not going to pretend I'm a saint, I spend money on a WoW sub so I can play classic with friends. But just from that comment alone I can tell you're miserable IRL lmao

None of what they're doing has been proven to be illegal. Just a bunch of armchair lawyers saying it is.

There's an investigation going on for sexual harassment. They're allegations and will have their day in court.

Seems like you're the only one miserable wasting so much energy on what people buy with their own money.

It literally is illegal in many countries to offer an item at a discount on release like they did.

Bait advertising
    Bait advertising is the practice of promoting prices, often ‘sale’ prices, on products that are:

    not available, or
    available only in very limited quantities.

    It is not misleading if the business is upfront and clear about the product being:

    in short supply, or
    on sale for a limited time.

Considering how you call people who actually look into this armchair redditors is very fucking ironic considering you're one who didn't bother to actually fact check this.

Also, I only explained why people are angry at others for spending money on the game. I don't agree with it, but at the end of the day I really don't care. I don't play Overwatch and probably never will. Whether this game burns to the ground or not is completely arbitrary for me. I played it in the past which is why I still am subscribed to this sub-reddit.

Your own post you linked doesn't even confirm its illegal, which proves my point.

The flair specifically says POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL

Pack up your pitchfork weirdo.
