    It’s unchecked because customers don’t really care. When is the last time there was a boycott of a game due to how the developers are treated?

      Capitalism doesn’t get checked by consumers, there are a billion things too much to properly pay attention to and no viable alternatives.

      It gets checked by either regulations and laws or replacing it with something else.

        There are so many viable alternatives. I’ve got an increasingly long list of things I won’t tolerate in games anymore, and I’m nowhere near running out of games to play. The big problem is being able to identify which of those checkboxes are checked or not; PC Gaming Wiki is working for this purpose lately, though it shouldn’t be necessary.

      Boycotts are only one tool in the box. Legislation should be addressing things like consolidation of power and anti consumer practices.

      Unfortunately, the US has one far right party that has many lunatics that don’t believe in government (along with other insanities), and one center-at-best party that does that wield power effectively.
