I don't think there are any "good" companies and, frankly, supporting them for not flying the flag isn't much better than the people cheering when they do.
Other than just not consooming, the best strategy seems to be targetting the worst of them with boycotts/negative attention. It's important to focus on one or two at a time, in order to have an effect.
Personally, I hope they all go bankrupt and we have no choice but to use small, local retailers, but obviously that's a pipe dream.
It’s not a pipe dream, though. When Walmart left a few small towns in the South after being their sole provider of medicine and food for years, local drug stores and grocers popped up just as quickly as Walmart left. If a town is not as volatile as LA, they will attract small businesses.
They'll probably do something in the middle of the month. You're right that itch.io has typically been more Left-leaning than others, so there's still plenty of time for them to virtue signal.
I don't like keeping lists like that so they don't get the attention of the leftist hydra. That and I don't apply morals to companies, if you're focused on selling a product that isn't illegal and fulfilling promises of said product, good. Anything else is a bonus and if you try to moralise me to buy a shitty product, go fuck yourselves.
It wouldn't matter because everybody has different limits and horses in this fight. As such, people love a good purity spiral. So if a company exec one time had dinner with a random Jew, that would be considered a deal breaker of the highest order to many.
On the other hand, if we listed out every company side by side by searching out every grievance it would just end with "build your own society" due to lack of any real innocent companies.
No company that relies on credit ratings, stock evaluations, or financing will be this, which means virtually all of them.
Mom & pop shops are all that's left, and soon they'll be zogged, too. Don't adhere to the WEF's goals? Well, we're not shipping you that order, then...

Neutrality is no longer enough.
They probably have some bundle going on. Humble is with their "pride" bundle no one wants and isn't nearly selling that many of last I checked.
