While spending some time on this forum I have been reading through numerous posts about actors, voice actors, directors or people involved in a studio or game doing shitty stuff. Or are accused of doing shitty stuff. A lot of response on these posts are people saying they won't support these practices by not buying that game, or a game where those people are involved.
Now, I get that. I really understand that if some actor does shitty stuff you strongly disagree with you wouldn't want to have anything to do with them, even in a videogame where you would normally escape reality for a brief moment.
My question however is, how far would you let this factor in your decision to not buy a game with their involvement anymore? We have had a lot of questionable situations in this industry involving a lot of people. If I would have to check on every game and every fuckup of X person I doubt there would be many games left to buy. Do you lookup a game before you buy to make sure some people weren't involved?
I am not trying to say to just handwave these things away because there are a lot of people involved and a lot of people did shady stuff, but I am genuinly curious about how you guys handle these situations in your everyday life of game consuming.
