I would at least suggest that Eurogamer always remind us of the allegations when covering the products of these companies.

I agree that this seems like exactly the kind of thing EG could do, and avoids some of the legitimate complications of outright blacklisting the companies.

A paragraph/box-out at the top of each relevent article: "There have been widespread, credible media reports about XYZ at ActiBlizzSoft. We firmly oppose etc. and support all affected workers. See more of our coverage of the situation here. If you're a worker in the videogames industry experiencing/affected by these or any similar issues, we'd be interested in hearing from you here." Ideally something about something EG themselves intend to do, e.g. investigating further, future reporting plans.

I don't doubt that EG do care about these things, but one big feature article every now and again that gets quickly buried is probably not the most effective response.
