I mean, if you're done with the game and truly not getting anymore enjoyment out of it, then by all means uninstalling and all is fine. I just don't understand the "I don't support what you're doing, so I'm uninstalling your game that I fully own and no longer pay for!"
They already have your money for that... keep playing it. I know I will. *shrug*
I get what you're saying, but we also know that Overkill cares about their metrics. There's a reason that they display "Heisters online" when you go to a lobby and they've done things in the past trying to get concurrent users to spike at specific times, or accomplish specific things: Every part of Crimefest this year was group-based meta-unlocks where the community needed to steal X million dollars or kill X million cops or the real funny one, have 30k people online at once. That one went almost uncompleted until the end of the party, and even then it took a mass get-together by Overkill themselves to pull it off, because they don't have 30k users at any point otherwise.
I don't want to be a part of their metrics. Same reason my free safes will never be opened, either. I understand it's not going to accomplish anything, but the game has been soured for me a lot. It sucks.

Don't pay for DLC or cash shop items.
Don't shell out cash for expansions that should have been part of the core game.

The problem here was that Overkill was doing just fine for two years and then decided to cash out on their playerbase. No one could have known it was coming, and they specifically said they vehemently opposed the process at launch. We had no reason to not believe them!

September, November, November. Did you play anything from the other three quarters of the year? (This sounds way snarkier than I'm intending, this isn't a hostile or sarcastic question!)
I did have some fun with Mad Max, but that game really does its damndest to remind you HEY, THIS IS A VIDEO GAME, HOLD Y TO DO A THING for the entire runtime.
I did play a lot of stuff on my 3DS this year, so there's that. I don't know how much of it came out in 2015 though.
