I didn't buy it for this reason. I also didn't buy many other games for similar reasons, whether discrimination, marketed in poor taste, etc. and all games I would otherwise play, such as COD: WaW and LOTR Online.
In our society, money carries value and is often the only reason companies listen to people and try to make changes for the better, and I vote with my wallet.
I also refuse to shop at WalMart, even if it means I pay more. I buy American-made products whenever possible. I buy small company products over huge corporate products where possible. I don't buy from companies that have human rights violations, i try to spend money on locally produced products in my community, etc. etc. If I buy a used game - which I do rarely and only if it's just a ridiculously good bargain, not the $5 at Gamestop or something - I ALWAYS buy DLC to give money to that developer, even if it's just a theme or gamerpics.
And it doesn't matter if I am the only one in the world who does it, or whether anyone knows I did it. I know I did it, and that's important to me.

It's nice that you have all those options... I sure wish I could buy only local and US made product, but I'm poor and so it's Chinese manufactures trash for me... and I work at Walmart... just because some stores have issues doesn't mean all stores are full of fucktards... I also rarely buy used goods... usually it's because I can't afford the 60 bucks and normally it's at a rental store so it's not like Gamestop who rips everyone off... the video store uses that to pay employees and purchase new titles
