I am not going to discuss the ethics of piracy because I genuinely don't give a fuck (also the vast majority of people don't know the difference between ethics and morality and insist whatever they do is Good so it is even less productive than slamming my hand in a cabinet).

But if your goal is to actually not support those companies? Don't play the games. Because "Wow, Spider-Man is fucking awesome" is still going to encourage others to buy it. Even if you say "Wow, I am so glad I pirated it because Spider-Man is fucking awesome" is going to encourage people who don't know how/don't care to pirate things to buy it (and people are going to think you are an obnoxious edgelord).

And yeah, I'll parrot others: If you think games are in a bad place (from a monetization and content perspective... not from a funding and censorship one) then that just tells me that you don't actually care enough to follow indie devs.
