>people begging for more government intervention and cohercion on the free market and individual liberties

Have you tried NOT supporting shitty companies yourself? Of course not, you lack any semblance of self-control, you have to CONSOOM and then be mad that the obvious thing happened anyway. Daddy government has to fix everything for you, right? Just ask for more laws to brute force your petty desires on irrelevant things. You know the real answer to things like good games being held hostage by shitty companies is piracy? This is exactly the situation where piracy is morally acceptable. Support some crack group or decomp-recomp project or something. There, problem solved.
