Let's add EA to the list of companies I'm boycotting.

Oh? What a coincidence; it was already there.

Cocks a Cola! The official sponsor of this refreshing boycott is proud to announce a whole new cock flavor! Try cherry cock! And the all new mango cock!

This just in...cock!... Cock is not how you pronounce it? Couck? Oh okay, I'm sorry. But how about Pecksi? Pa pa pa pa pa! I'm loving it! So eat fresh papayas!

I don't get people bringing Coca Cola when talking about a company fucking its consumer in the ass (here is a cock analogy for you, you seem to like those). Boycotting Coca Cola because it's a company with terrible practices on their employees will probably not work because it doesn't affect the consumer experience. It's not like Coca Cola puts lead in its product or some shit that might affect the taste. Here the company reduces the quality of its product. For instance, boycotting Roku because they put ads in their HDMI cables that triggers when the user hits pause would probably work because it makes the experience shitty.

If you think boycotting doesn't work with gaming, you haven't paid much attention recently.

Oh I think we're actually in the choir together. Boycott Crookacola! And Nintendo.
