Anyone here that boycotting Ubisoft was pointless/useless right now?

Trivial?

Ubisoft was being hung for what they said, and now it's all cool cause they're publishing Tenchu 4.

Maybe "morals" is wrong, but the intent is still there. For all the hate and shit Ubi endured, and to now, it turn to indifference is crazy.

I don't see anyone saying the boycott is over... At the very most, some people are simply making an exception so as to enjoy a game from a developer they want to support. As I said, it's quite unfortunate that Ubisoft is publishing this (see No More Heroes for the reason), but not many people will be so bold as to not buy the game just because of that. I agree it can be seen as slightly hypocritical, but it's not that big a deal.

Also, I didn't see anyone telling people not to buy No More Heroes when the boycott started... The current situation is not that different, it's precisely the same thing - another developer, Ubisoft just picked up the title for publishing (and hopefully advertising it well, which would be something most Wii owners here would be thankful for, if they do it).

 

That's exactly what I told him in another thread, but he still insists we are hypocrites because we want to support a small developer by buying its games, when Ubisoft is ONLY publishing it.

Boycott isn't over at least for me, I won't be buying any games they develop.
