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.

Battlefield 5 comes to mind.

Speaking of which anyone remember when EA did something similar to this with the first Titanfall by giving the game surprise Xbox exclusivity? That actually ended up hurting the series potential sales and had a knock on effect on the next game.
