Meh, I get this kind of boycott more so than most.  Most boycotts are because you disagree with what the higher ups in the company decided so you punish all kinds of people working for the company for the decisions or comments made by a few.  This is much more direct, there are only two people in this guy's company so if you don't want to support him for being a jerk to some Japanese indie developer at GDC your only collateral damage will be one other dude.  

Personally I get the outrage, even if the guy thinks that Japanese gaming is bad he shouldn't yell it at some poor guy just asking a  question at GDC, but I wouldn't care enough to boycott it if I had access to it.

You can see it as only Weeaboos (god being called a nerd by a bunch of other nerds on the internet, stupidest thing I've delt with in a while) being mad because they disagree with his statement, but then again I see it as people ignoring that he acted like a butthole because they agree with his general sentiment.  

I'm pretty sure that there are people that work for every company that most of us wouldn't agree with. Fucking racists, sexists, homophobs, all kinds of assholes.

well sure, but how many companies can you say "I dislike half of their employees and find their actions deplorable"?

I'd guess of all of the two-manned companies there are in the world, there would be a significant amount. Just a guess though.

well I for one will be picking it up .. but gotta wait till pay day so the demo will have to do for now..

he was basically making a comment about modern japanese games.. I kinda get the feeling he loved the japanese games of the past just not the recent ones..

But he's not the only guy to criticize japanese games..

Microsoft gets another excellent game for Xbox Live EXCLUSIVELY:

People are upset its not on their choice system. This on the internet is PURE FACT.

I dont need figures or GOD to tell me.

This is the only reason.

It has nothing to do with any morale choice or concern for others.
