So on one hand we have the usual greedy consumer hating publisher and on the other hand we have a moronic dev who shouldn't be allowed to talk directly to customers. The customer loses, the dev loses, the game loses. So in the end everyone loses except for 2 big publishers. What else is new?

How did the publisher not lose if the game gets boycotted?

When was the last time a boycott actually boycotted? Koch has already won with the big money deal from Epic and Epic has already won by spreading their client. At this point it doesn't really matter anymore if the game only sells half as much as it would have. But I doubt that "boycott" will have any meaningful impact on sales in the first place. And if it has they'll just release the game on Steam. We already lost and they already won.
