Sure, but gaming boycotts don't work. That's why they are doing this. They rake in tons of money and alienate maybe 1% of their userbase. The reason is simple. The first paid mount microtransaction in World of Warcraft made more money than the entirety of Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty. They won't care about reviews - sales will go through the roof anyway, and they'll rake in a shitload of cash on microtransactions.
