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.

If there's not a majority willing to step up and do whats right, then we get what we deserve.

Im tired of the idea of legislating good behaviour

If people en masse want to try to blame other people for their choices, that's on them. Bringing the legal system into it just tells everyone "hey, dont bother being responsible for your actions" without addressing the issue: people dont give a shit about making good choices

The simple solution is for people to choose wisely with their dollars. If they choose to support shitty producers thats the problem. No need to make being assholes illegal

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

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