Yup. People can’t sacrifice anything these days to make a statement.
What is especially frustrating is how quickly these corporations would fold under pressure. Take a principled position for 1 week and watch what happens.

As soon as a timeframe is added, the company will just ignore it, especially something as minor as a week.
Boycott should not have an end date, only then would a company start to consider it and maybe try to do something to end it.
Sorry, I didn’t mean literally a week and to tell them first. I meant if enough people did this they would start to see the results of their effort in about one week.
I wish I could see it in my lifetime. The scrambling back to people on their hands and knees and suddenly being super user friendly and pro consumer would be a glorious sight to behold.
Its literally so easy most of the time. Once or twice a year something comes out that I really want to use / play. Its the two times per year I “suffer.”. The rest is stuff I probably would have tried and played but its now so far off my radar they’ll never see a cent again (unless of course there is a major overhaul in whatever co’s business model; happy to return with a change).
I feel this exact way with GTA 6 right now but it got a lot easier for me when I realized how many thousands of potential hours of amazing experiences I already have in my library.
I’m starting to feel more fulfilled on going through that backlog than I am on whatever new game everyone is playing.
Thats a weird one because Activision wants mw2 players to stop playing. They refuse the patch an RCE in multiplayer. These people are probably playing on the private servers. But if they spend any time on the game thats time away from where Activision wants them which is on the new game.
? I mean obviously there’s the possibility of it being shopped but there’s no sort order you could do where Borderlands, Dragon Age, and Team Fortress would all be up there mixed in to the Call of Duty players while still showing primarily Call of Duty in the middle of the list.
Judging by the name order it seems like it’s just 1 page of online players and 16 pages of offline players? I would guess maybe it was taken way after the boycott but I dont know the full context.
this is a pretty accurate representation of most current day boycotts.

The company would only fold under pressure if it was actually an issue a huge percentage of their customers cared about. This isn’t one of them.

Fair, just misinterpreted then due to the context of the announcement saying it’s only for a week. My apologies.

I should have taken this route a long time ago.

That image is from when the original mw2 came out
Ohhh
Hm I wonder if that list of 17 pages is perhaps sorted to show people in the game who may have either accidentally clicked the join button or are new.
Nah, it’s indicative of how g*mers act.
Some gamers. I am still chillin playing factorio with my player hosted servers and no DRM because the devs are based.
Gamers ≠ g*mers

At least peer to peer works theoretically forever though. So it’s not the worst way to keep multiplayer alive.
