While I get where you’re coming from, corporate boards care far more about purchases over actual engagement. Not buying the game is definitely the better option here, though unfortunately I imagine I will only make the tiniest dent in the swathes of purchases they’ll get. Regardless, if it is an exclusive, that sucks since MS banked their Bethesda acquisition deal on saying “we’ll make Bethesda games available for all platforms still”

I'm talking more about actual consequences of what one does with their time and money rather than some metric that Microsoft is tracking. Pirating the game out of some sense of solidarity strikes me as not just ineffective but just a poor way to justify piracy when you know it's the wrong thing to do.
