minus-squareZeroxxx@lemmy.idlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoSo the boycott does not work, woke people in shambles 😆
minus-squareIlflish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 months agoBoycotts never work with games, regardless of the reason. Remember the Modern Warfare Boycott when women were introduced to the franchise as playable?
minus-squareZOSTED@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoI mean it worked for me - I didn’t buy it or play it, despite it looking pretty cool.
minus-squareIlflish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 months agoJust because you didn’t buy it doesn’t mean the boycott succeeded. It still sold 22 million+ copies
minus-squareZOSTED@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoYeah, 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.
minus-squareloobkoob@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoI’m sure a lot of the people who said they were going to boycott it did boycott it. But a boycott was never going to work for this game. The IP alone meant it was going to sell 10M+ copies, even if it was absolutely terrible.
