Would you buy, refund or boycott a game out of political spite?

When you say internal politics I'm gonna guess that means internal struggles and such within a company, if so think back people to the stuff related to Konami and Kojima, can you honestly say that all that bad PR didn't in some ways sour you to the thought of future purchases of your Pachinko machines from Konami?

For me as long as the internal politics doesn't spill over and damage the games development then I'll mostly try to ignore it, but say for example the things going on in the background of Mighty Number 9 were hard to overlook when the backstage politics were clearly having an impact on the games direction and stiffling the original image that the Kickstarter put forward, going from being the 2016 version of Megaman.... to instead being Megaperson so as to be more PC, that was painful to watch and it did make me just turn off to the concept of buying the game before it launched. (did get it from psn+ a year later, glad I didn't pay for that)

Yeah. That and also things that effect the gaming industry and the titles being worked on. Stuff like Konami and yhe Jessica price situation or Manveers Hiers views creating an enviroment of diversity hiring as opposed to something confined to the gaming press for clickbait like the Kingdom come deliverence lack of coloured people. People completely misinterpreted the thread, some because of the title and most, probably because I worded it badly.

Offtopic a second btw, but from the OP line of "my phone keyboard is glitchy" do you encounter a bug where the auto correct replaces words after you've typed them on this site? Like where auto correct effectively makes shit of your post if you let it do its thing on here.

 

Edit - I will admit after hearing people complaining that Kingdom come deliverance had those "issues" I am actively looking to buy a copy for the ps4 :D
