Good luck trying to convince gamers not to buy a (insanely marketed) game. Remember MW2?

[–] foggenbooty 3 points 10 hours ago

I want to state for the record that I was one who boycotted MW2 and stuck to my guns. I have not bought a single CoD game since. I played Warzone (free) with friends when it was new, until it became a bloated mess that highly incentivized buying CoD.

I am not the norm. That boycott was a total failure and in one swoop the publishers knew they could call our bluff. As gaming has branched out and become a household staple there is no such thing as "gamers" anymore as a tech savvy class. We are just regular people. Regular people are dumb and easily manipulated.

I'm just happy to see the rise of indy PC gaming because we now have actual good games to choose from and I never have to support the AAA clowns again.
