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

@lordoftheknight-----> Im not just pointing at you when I say about boycotting, since you admit that you dont own a Wii anyway in the other thread or I may be wrong.

For the last time, it's not only Wii owners who are boycotting. My stance on the boycott has nothing to do with whether I have a Wii.

What I mean was this boycott in general. Boycott and bashing Ubi was SO OLD... Its not fun anymore

You didn't pay attention. Boycotts are not about fun. They are about results.

as it used to last week, just give it a rest!

That's the problem with you people about this boycott. You think it's a game. A company basically thinks it can treat gamers like shit. If that isn't the case, we'll be pleased that isn't the case, not sorry we were mad in the first place.

As for rocketpig, I don't think you think wal-mart is that bad. If you did, you would actually try to organize a boycott for them, not use them as a way to try to trivialize what is upsetting us, when you never supported this in the first place.

In fact, I have personal reasons to hate wal-mart, so how dare you try to use them as a trump card. They don't deserve that kind of validation. And the reason ubisoft is uspsetting me is that I actually see similar signs from them. If they just see gamers as doormats (still waiting until E3 to confirm that), and refuse to give an ernest effort to even one group they claim to be supporting (as opposed to those who honestly say who they don't support), then they can go to hell.

I don't think Wal-Mart is that bad?

Heh, okay. I've been personally boycotting them for years now and have convinced much of my family and friends to do the same.

As for the bolded, what kind of "validation" am I giving them? In your book is validation calling out a company for doing horrible things?

I asked a simple question that started this line of conversation:

If people are boycotting Ubisoft over this, are they also boycotting companies like Wal-Mart? It's not that hard to spot the hypocrisy of boycotting a company like Ubisoft while buying Nintendo games at Wal-Mart.
