The only studio that I have to completely avoid because of this, who actually make games I'd normally play, is frontier developments. Think things like planet coaster, Jurassic world evolution or stranded: alien dawn. They also never remove it. I think I read a quote that whoever is in charge believes people will "get over it" and eventually buy it anyway. I can't speak for others, but I sure won't.

It's a shame, but there are other games in the genre(s) that are just as good, arguably better. And I already own more games than I can play, as the backlog seems to just grow.
