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.

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.

Same, know a dozen that would've bought it.
