Easiest way to avoid being lied to is to just stop listening to what they have to say.
Play the game because your family and friends want to play the game, and stop worrying about the company that makes it. Why let them live rent-free in your head by reading up on everything they do? After all... if you keep digging and looking long enough, you'll find every single company and person in the entire world will have done something you disapproved of.
And if you can't handle that truth... then you have to just let it go.
(EDIT) Apparently
@iserith had the same thought.
