Somebody needs to make a company shit list so I can avoid them. I got EA, Hasbro, Nestle so far.

spoiler alert though, it's literally everybody. because everyone else is doing it, it's not possible to survive as a business in a competitive space without doing, for lack of a better word, the devil's work. It will take a major social disruption to change this, but it won't happen in an organized fashion because we as a species are pathetic. The disruption will be the end of the world - North America cracking down the middle due to all the fracking, the Greenland glacier sliding into the ocean all at a go, something like that. FAFO endgame shit, due any minute now anyway.

Okay while I agree it's everyone.

It is absolutely possible for a single corporation to not be the shittiest possible person in existence. They just can't be public.

The stock market is the worst thing to ever happen to this country.

One solution is to support government regulation of these industries. Deregulation is the cause of much of this crap.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Well, if you deregulate patents and copyright (that is, abolish them, with only trademark laws remaining), then I'd expect only positive results.

Honestly its kind of extremely crumby that hasbro owns the wizards

The DnD games from the 90s on steam went up in price because of the success of BG3 they are now on sale forbtheir old price lol

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oof, glad I got all the Infinity Engine games in a Humble Bundle before BG3 released

list of the companies that arent garbage might be shorter

[–] And009@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

A little too short

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Good luck avoiding most of them. They own everything.

Nestle doesn't just make Chocolate...

[–] ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Samsung, Ubisoft, Epic, Chiquita, Dole, Apple, ...

Pretty much any big corp is gonna be really shitty...

Create a github repo, put eveey company in the readme

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good idea. I may get on it if there isn't one already

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not that I know of. Just thought of if because I have seen similar uses before. GitHub has GitHub pages, if you want to create a website.
