  this is a pretty accurate representation of most current day boycotts.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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).

  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

    ? 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.

  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.

  At least peer to peer works theoretically forever though.
