If OP has an employment contract and can read, then it's entirely their fault. This is something that's easy to check and is written down so that both sides are clear what the terms are. Even if they can't read they should have asked someone to read it to them.

Yeah I agree completely, but we shouldn't kid ourselves that companies are going to go bankrupt because a minority of users are absolutist about in-game ads, or will sacrifice social connections to avoid using Meta products.

In these cases an individual can act for any number of valid reasons, but it takes a much bigger collective action to influence the outcome, which requires a much bigger reason/scandal.

My understanding is the prod keys are required to tell the software (e.g. games) that it is running on an authorised device and passes certain checks / DRM.

To run the software without prod keys would require (I think) patching each game individually to skip those checks. So it could be possible but wildly impractical unless some other work around is found.
