Consciously deciding to boycott everything from a publisher makes no sense to me. It's like if a parent slapped the hand of a child when they did something bad AND when they did something good. If a game deserves to be bought then I might buy it. If it doesn't, then I won't. It's as simple as that. I deal with DLC the exact same way.

Pretty much exactly this, if a company does something and creates a game you would enjoy playing but you still don't buy it then you're voting with your wallet, you're telling them that the step they've made to please you still isn't enough to get you as a customer, at a point they'll stop giving a crap about pleasing individuals who just blanket wont buy their stuff and instead chuck in another 50e microtransaction skin to cover the short fall of you not buying the game.

 

Vote with your wallet... tell them when they do good by you... a voter who always votes no ... I mean... what are companies to do to win you over? you're putting your one vote on top of a mountain making it impossible for them to even bother about anymore, they'll just ignore you and go to greener pastures.

Yeah.  In that regard, a person who boycotts everything from a publisher is actually part of the problem, not the solution.

If you boycott a game like Child of Light from Ubisoft, what is the message you're sending?  That you don't want stylized RPGs?  That it didn't have enough blood?  That it wasn't realistic enough?  That'll show those mean ol' developers who pitched something different.  Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and stick with AAA action franchises that are proven money makers.  Congratulations.

I don't see the logic.  A puppy does something bad, you pop it on the nose.  A puppy does something good, you ... still pop it on the nose?
