I feel that it's something that's easier to do in the game industry than elsewhere. However you feel about Roman Polanski or, say, Mel Gibson, watching the Pianist and the Passion of the Christ will only take 4 hours of your life. With video games there is a huge competition for time, and unless they are producing truly outstanding games, you can afford to ignore games from developers you personally dislike for whatever founded or unfounded reason, because there are plenty of other games out there waiting to be played
Especially valid in the case of Fez, where he competes in the super-crowded market of so-called "indie" games, consumers have more incentive to pass it by
It is similar with the Dixie Chicks. I know spit all about country music, but it seems to be a very crowded market so it was easy for country fans to tune them out when they found they disliked what they said, because there were so many others out there.
My overall view on the matter is roughly "love the work, hate the artist," and that is how i conduct myself, but i could easily see the justification for having it factor in to your purchasing decisions.
