Fuck yeah brother

But, but…what about the lost revenue from not getting a video about it out as soon as possible after launch?!?!

Remember, piracy is a thing and a good way to protest. If you're not willing to go through that length, you can always buy it used from someone else later on. That way your money goes to that person and not the company.

I find it very bothersome when I hear a person try to find a workaround for a boycott or come up with a morally justifiable reason for tacitly supporting Microsoft. Even in publications and reviews that offer a throwaway mention of BDS it still rubs me the wrong way.

I was really looking forward to Doom: The Dark Ages and skipped it for the same reason. There's plenty of games coming out, it really is an easy thing to do!

It’s never been easier to not play some games!

This is fake news because I don’t play like a million video games yet I don’t have $70 million dollars

Just gonna get it used at a game store in a few months. MS gets nothing, I save tons of money. Win / win

the bds boycott, beyond its obvious merits, also happens to be a great excuse for me to clear a bunch of 2000s sicko games from my backlog, and i am a more well-rounded person for it

Whenever I hear boycotts don't work I always remember how much lobbying money goes into policy. I don't believe in the power of an individual wallet,but I do believe in people boycotting and following through and staying till changes are made. If it didn't work they would let you fail in silence

it truly is so easy not to spend money

I was like "bro you really gonna be posting that under a post pro-boycott" Then I looked at your profile and went "Okay yeah my bad. Understandable have a great day."

big if true

Shit, my backlog includes games from the 90s and early 2000s and I still have upwards of 200 games to play.

We've learned that even if a game sells well, companies will still fire people & grifters will still say a project failed if it's woke. Like I feel bad for how many projects are bound by Microsoft, but it's ultimately Microsoft's fault for complicit in a genocide

I don't play many/any AAA games, and I don't want to play reboots of old franchises, which pretty much just leaves me with indie games. And I'm fine with that! A large portion of the games I play are made by 1-3 people, so at least I can support those people directly. Win/win.

I was wondering that too, Sept 25 they cut the offending tech from access and I was wondering why it's still a thing, not that I was paying money for a Microsoft product or service right now already.

IIRC yes. While they did celebrate the win in the article I linked, they're still calling to keep mounting the pressure: bdsmovement.net/news/microso...

I couldn't wait for Yotei, but turns out two kids are way more demanding than one, so it's on hold..
