Im not happy with the game im going to do a no play protest in conjunction with a hunger strike and im also not going to poo until I get what I want....whos with me?
Player boycotts have been very successful in other games in the mediums history. If a community is strongly opposed to poor decisions by a development team, its actually a rather good action to take.
Its not necessarily about the boycott itself, its about the negative press surrounding it. It sends a very clear message. Ubisoft themselves made rather large changes to For Honour due to player boycotts, quite recently even.
We have lives, ffs, and in these lives we have hobbies we are passionate about, passionate enough to take action when as a majority we feel the changes to said hobby don't reflect the best interest of the game nor those that play it, changes like content removal, playlist limitations and normalization of recoil.
