ResetERA admins decided to allow THQNordic's games discussions to continue. I respect that decision but I can't bring myself to give even a single dollar to that company. Especially after today's events.
For the uninitiated, THQNordic decided to do an ama session on a known cp lover / right-wing extremist hell hole website called "8chan" acted like they belong in there with their disgusting replies to homophobic/hateful questions, posted a limp-ass apology on Twitter after mainstream press caught up with it, and swept the whole thing under the rug like it was nothing.
After what happened in New Zealand today and how right-wing terrorist use 8chan as their gathering place and how THQNordic didn't even fire the cunt who decided that was the platform this publisher should use to promote their games, I decided to boycott THQNordic and their subsidiary Deep Silver's upcoming games until a shake-up happens at the Swedish company.
Here is the list of games that you might want to consider not supporting. It is, of course, your personal choice to boycott these games.

Edit 2: Divided the list between THQNordic and Deep Silver.
Edit 1: Please note that publishing rights for some games differ from region to region. Always double check yourself before you make a decision.
Upcoming Games:
THQNordic:

HOW TO IGNORE THQ AND DEEP SILVER'S GAMES:
---------------A good way to avoid inadvertently buying one of their games (on PC at least) is to ignore them as a publisher on Steam.
Just go to their publisher page, click the little gear icon and click 'Ignore this creator'.
It doesn't hide all their games from the store completely, but every time one appears Steam will tell you that you've ignored this publisher. By repeating the above process you can undo this, should they ever clean up their act and make amends for this.
