    Boycotts never work with games, regardless of the reason. Remember the Modern Warfare Boycott when women were introduced to the franchise as playable?

      I mean it worked for me - I didn’t buy it or play it, despite it looking pretty cool.

        Just because you didn’t buy it doesn’t mean the boycott succeeded. It still sold 22 million+ copies

          Yeah, 22M+ minus 1, me. I didn’t plan the boycott, I just don’t agree with giving my money to JK. So I didn’t.

      Boycotts do work in any aspect of life, for a proper reason.

      Woke boycott, is not.
