Not only do you not separate art from the artist, you aren't separating art from publisher either.

The guys you hate aren't responsible for any part of DE that you like.

The DE subreddit is just the worst.

the devs, after being screwed by ZA/UM encouraged people to pirate it. do that.

Believe it or not, EA at one point used to release good games (Road Rash). Same for Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed). I suppose those two count

I pirated DE as everyone should, but sadly I can't pirate the fresh af pilot jacket :(

I would argue that there are instances where art that was made by a scumbag is actually more interesting because it was made by a scumbag.

Birth of a Nation is one of the most important films ever made due to several major innovations in film techniques but it also invented the modern KKK.

it's even more telling with old man Kricfalusi, because the people who took over the reboot produced slop that makes APC look good

I checked a list of games released by EA in the 2000s decade and it's like 70% sports games, the rest is either licensed property shovelware, a sims spinoff and the occasional gem, like Burnout or TimeSplitters. So even in the PS2 era EA was already an infamous company.
