Besides, it's only the stupid companies that are actual using the HIB to LAUNCH a new game, they needed to launch via Desura, Gamolith and Steam, wait a year to see how sales go then use the HIB to get a final boost in sales and keep their name out there as well as raise excess capital for their next game.
So yeah, I'm perfectly fine with giving all of the $20-50 I spend on HIBs that aren't a stupid money grab of previously released games to the EFF. And maybe it's for political reasons I don't want the EFF showing up in my credit card statement, I may be paranoid, but the US government is trying really hard to use Orwellian novels as a governance manual...
[EDIT]
And nowhere did I say anything about propritary software, sure I don't perfer it, but I don't mind it for a game, I'm only wholly against it being pert of the driver stack, hence why I don't use the blob drivers.
