So the boycott does not work, woke people in shambles 😆
I'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.
Fact: it is not terrible.
Boycotts never work with games, regardless of the reason. Remember the Modern Warfare Boycott when women were introduced to the franchise as playable?
Boycotts do work in any aspect of life, for a proper reason.
Woke boycott, is not.
I mean it worked for me - I didn't buy it or play it, despite it looking pretty cool.
Same, know a dozen that would've bought it.
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.
Are you a transphobe? Or why are you happy about this?
Laughing at woke. You woke?
.ml, so woke.
I don't know what "woke" means here. I was under the impression that it's synonymous to "the others" in the artificially instigated drama between the US political parties.
I'm not from the US, so I guess, I would be "the others" in some sense, but I have no idea, if I specifically count towards the implied-evil others here.
