I don't really think I've boycotted games (or much of anything really) for political reasons, but I have a fairly high tolerance for a variety of political views it seems (at least compared to the hysteria I see on Twitter and Facebook).
Obviously if the dang thing was stamped with a Swastika or promoted concepts like racial superiority and/or was designed specifically with antagonizing/vilifying large groups of people in mind I'd steer clear of such garbage, but otherwise I mostly don't care if some employee or even project lead has conflicting political views with my own.
Really, the last time I remember just outright refusing to get a game even if it turned out to be good (thankfully it was not) was that "Hatred" game... it essentially used some of the most disgusting violence imaginable as its gimmick to compensate for lackluster gameplay, and I really didn't want that to succeed and encourage others to follow suit. It engaged in not only brutal physical violence, but even psychological cruelty, and games like that give our community a terrible name.
