    For the predatory games, either find some other way to get them…or don’t play/pay at all.

    It’s good advice, but past experience strongly suggests not enough people are going to follow it to make a difference. I think the only way game pubishers and other media companies reform their practices is if there are enforced government regulations requiring them to do so.

      Both, really. In fact I’d say all three:

      1. Don’t give money to publishers who do shit like this.
      2. Be loud about that fact and shame people who do spend their money like that.
      3. Advocate for proper government regulation.
