I can't start boycotting a company that I've been boycotting for well over a decade.

Last thing I bought from them was Mass Effect (only the first one) circa 2008 I think.

So, repeatedly buy and return games?

Will my steam account get banned if I pre-order every one of their games, click play for 5 minutes then instantly refund? I have my faith, but I don't know if they'd see that as abuse of their refund policy.

Why punish valve? Do that shit through origin.

Idk it'd be pretty cool to see steam go "sorry, your games are too unreliable and too much of a risk now." And stop offering them. And then they'll go out of business when the only people buying their games are the 10 people with origin installed.

I don't want to punish my computer by installing origin.
