How ridiculous is this?
What is the point of this boycott? To convince Ubisoft to make games for avid gamers? Have you even bothered to think this through?
Let's delude ourselves into thinking this boycott will be successful in recruiting a large number of supporters. Who will they be?
Casual gamers? No. They don't even know they're buying **** games, let alone who publishes them.
No, it will be avid gamers like us, gamers who are already not buying casual crap like Petz. So what do we boycott? Their "core" games like Red Steel, Prince of Persia? Beyond Good and Evil*? So we will try to convince UbiSoft to make more core games by not buying the core games that they do make? This is stupid beyond belief.
There is no need for a boycott. If you wish to send a message to Ubisoft, then buy the games that you like. If they are not making those games, they will see your money go to competitors. If they ARE making those games, your purchase will entice them to make more.
The market works, children. It just doesn't always give you what you want.
*And I'll be damned if I'll boycott BG&E2. No one bought the thing the first time around, and US was perfectly justified to drop the franchise altogether. I am grateful that they are giving the series another shot, and not about to **** them over for it.
