Probably not, I suppose in extreme cases, like if I discovered that Nintendo sacrificed a person as each game went gold or that Sega was getting the Yakuza to...erm wait no. But seriously, I wouldn't boycott if the game or associated devs/publishers got caught up in something political. I also wouldn't buy a game in support of something a game dev or publisher did that I thought was right. I really only buy games because I'm interested in them, if I think i'll enjoy them.

For a start I don't think a sale gained or a sale lost necessarily communicates what I might want it to, under any circumstance. A publisher can come to any conclusion why I do or don't buy something. Same goes for non political reasons, e.g. I wouldn't buy/boycott Octopath Traveller in an attempt to sway Square Enix's design choices on future jrpgs, I'd base my decision on whether I wanted to play that game, as far as I'm concerned thats the only important factor.

In respect to something like the situation with Jessica Price, I can't hold such a strong conviction to boycott anything associated with her or anyone else. As far as I can tell, a person made a mistake, did something stupid, whether they pay the price with their job or not isn't even important to me, thats up to their employer and their contract. To avoid anything they touch seems...strange..to me. I have no idea of anything else about them, whether it was a one time bad day, if they've changed their opinions or anything else about them. It feels petty to me since I'm judging someone I don't know based on one small action or even if they repeatedly find themselves in controversy like Phil Fish did. Also to punish everyone else working on a game just because I don't like one person seems vindictive to me and a little too close to the behaviour of somebody calling for an employer to sack somebody I don't agree with.

So in summary, I won't buy or boycott a game to make a stand for something political.

This thread is gonna be entertaining if Anita is ever hired as a writer for something like a new fallout or horizon entry. 😹

If it's just the developers' own personal beliefs, and it doesn't impact the game itself, I really couldn't care less. They could be Trump/Bernie supporters, Nazis, rabid hipsters, Onodera fans, Anti-vax people, Otherkin, Martians, doesn't really matter to me as long as the game itself is free from these influences.

If the game pushes an opinion down my throat that feels out of place though, then I might be less interested. Though it also depends on how in-your-face it is and what the opinion is. I've played a lot of JRPGs with anti-racism plots and subplots...and I don't mind since it's usually handled tastefully, and that's an opinion I hope we all share anyway.

I haven't changed my mind about a game because of politics SO FAR but i am open to doing so in the future. It is pretty unlike so i would have to have a very strong reason.

Offtopic i feel like this is more likely to be common for American gamers because your political system is so polarised and biased (i mean seriously - judges who vote based on what side of the political spectrum they are on? How insane!).

I buy good games, period.

Depends on how overt it is and how much it affects my enjoyment of the game.

It depends. I probably won't be buying DOA6 after caving to SJWs. The game's director himself even admitted he took inspiration from Marvel's SJW comics FFS, many of which were cancelled due to poor sales.

I also refuse to buy any game from Konami because I don't want to give those fuckers money after all their shenanigans, especially with the disgusting ways they treat former and current employees.

Lol. My bad for not clarifying. I wasnt referring to you with that comment but just making a general remark. All my personal opinion of course. 

What data do you have around that statement? I know factually that Trump did not win the majority vote. Do you have data around what companies are lead by fascism supporters?

Later what?
