    Boycotts aren’t Boycotts, they are just an underperformed product due to bad reviews. This happens every single day on every single platform.

      So if boycotts don’t work, what can the consumer do? Just not play the game at all? Even if the developer put effort in, and its a labor of love, but the publisher forced mtx in anyway? Like, what if the game is good and boycotts don’t work? What’s gonna stop greedy publishers?

        You are doing that thing where you are replying to something that you made up in your mind instead of the message that I wrote, because you were really hoping that I would say boycotts don’t work because your whole argument is based on it

        Customers leaving bad reviews in somewhere that is visible and easy to influence future potential customers because of a legitimate grievance works. It stops people buying the game and demonstrates discontent to the vendor. That’s it.
