Was I in the wrong to DE?

Which you are perpetuating.

Huh? I’m not giving them anything tangible that in the items absence makes my experience better or worse. But giving it to them makes their experience better. Thats not charity that is simply being helpful and kind.

Thats cool. Who brought them up? But since you did.

Direct donations are a thing, you know that right? When you give money to say Blizzard to give to lets say Ronald McDonald House you actually are helping Blizzard AND RMHC. Blizz gets a tax write off for their(your) monetary donation while RMHC receives the donation. If you are talking about that fake charity meme that circulates the internet that blasts various 501c3 companies like Red Cross and March of Dimes well then thats fake.
