They aren't supporting anything. It isn't Microsoft's job to moderate industry trends.

Do the Laughing Joking Numbnuts count? lol

I actually hate Crapcom for killing off it's 2nd biggest franchise (used to be first, even beating out Street Fighter at one point), Megaman.

They don't have to change anything. You said your problem was their negative influence on the industry. They have no impact. Any replication of poor game design is purely on the oweness of the replicators. It isn't MS's job you make games play the way you like so that companies you like will copy them and make their games play the way you like.

Not just one but a multitude of other publishers. I hate or rather dislike Activision for how they treat their devs, High Moon Studios slipped up with Deadpool and since then they haven't worked on anything big let alone another Transformers game, miss those guys.

EA simply for giving us a Battlefront that's pretty casual as you can get but the fact they don't even give you a server browser on PC boggles my mind and it's effectively one of the main reasons why the userbase for that game on PC is dying. Also I dislike their season pass and DLC plans they keep throwing out.

Konami for treating their staff like shit, fucking around with Kojima and consumers in general, people who are willing to pay for premium games and get fed crap, MGSV was supposed to be amazing but instead it wasn't even properly finished and the online game delayed for PC along with micro trans being tacked on and operating on P2P rather than dedicated.

Ubisoft for throwing out the same damn game and concept nearly every single year or two. Not doing good enough port jobs and still wishing to force Uplay despite the fact the other clients don't do what they do which is to sell their games on another client app while also requiring you use their own, none of the other clients do this as far as I know and it;s bullshit double layered DRM.

Warner Brother. Not much needs to be said but they have easily become the most hated of publishers out there in the eyes of PC gamers with what they have and haven't done along with them trying to completely wash their hands of their own self created mess and expecting everyone to forgive and forget about it the following week. Out of all the publishers, WB takes the cake for being arrogant and refusing to budge, the others take time and sort out atr least one area or two of their structure or mistakes, WB hasn't fixed zip.

At the end of the day EA for me is the one I don't hate the most, their customer service, on the house program and improvement of their client has kept them from being the worst out of the bunch, that goes to WB but I digress. All in all I don't support those who pull crap like WB by not buying their games (games they own and meddle with entirely) or ones that do bad port jobs (like Activision for Blops III) and even clients that try to do double DRM (like Ubisoft).

Easily Activison since I don't really like FPS and that its pretty much all they make. The last Activision game I liked is Gun and that game will be 11 years old at the end of the year.

Konami. Kojima and his team didn't deserve the draconian BS, and Silent Hills deserved a chance to shine. #fuckonami
