So even though Wal-Mart manipulates the social welfare system, underpays employees, union-busts like crazy, strongarms manufacturers, sells lead paint-ridden products to children, and is a downright despicable company through and through, their size is what keeps you shopping there. No boycott for evil bastards if they're too large in size, I guess.

On the other hand, Ubisoft is adopting a strategy (non-harmful, mind you) that you don't like and you're up in arms over it, supporting a boycott.

*shakes head in disbelief*

No wonder this world is so fucked up. 

Well you're a hypocritic if you first said to boycott each of Ubisoft's games and then later on say: "only the bad games I'll boycot", as soon as Tenchu IV was announced. Then stick with your boycott plan and boycott Tenchu IV as well, or remove your sig. Boycott means boycott.... entirely.

Therefore I stick with the criticizing instead of boycotting the entire company. Before you'll know it they come up with something you can't resist... then you look like a fool to yourself. 

@ rocketpig. I boycott Wal-Mart for all of those reasons that you mentioned but I'm a jerk if I buy Red Steel 2 I guess.

I'm not in the boycott right now. I've stated that repeatedly. So that means you aren't even really paying attention.

How does not boycott mean we thinkg this is worse? That wasn't what I wrote. Read it again.

@lordoftheknight-----> Im not just pointing at you when I say about boycotting, since you admit that you dont own a Wii anyway in the other thread or I may be wrong. What I mean was this boycott in general. Boycott and bashing Ubi was SO OLD... Its not fun anymore as it used to last week, just give it a rest!

And with that I farewell to this thread...

That's the problem with you people about this boycott. You think it's a game. A company basically thinks it can treat gamers like shit. If that isn't the case, we'll be pleased that isn't the case, not sorry we were mad in the first place.

As for rocketpig, I don't think you think wal-mart is that bad. If you did, you would actually try to organize a boycott for them, not use them as a way to try to trivialize what is upsetting us, when you never supported this in the first place.

In fact, I have personal reasons to hate wal-mart, so how dare you try to use them as a trump card. They don't deserve that kind of validation. And the reason ubisoft is uspsetting me is that I actually see similar signs from them. If they just see gamers as doormats (still waiting until E3 to confirm that), and refuse to give an ernest effort to even one group they claim to be supporting (as opposed to those who honestly say who they don't support), then they can go to hell.

I don't think Wal-Mart is that bad?

Heh, okay. I've been personally boycotting them for years now and have convinced much of my family and friends to do the same.

As for the bolded, what kind of "validation" am I giving them? In your book is validation calling out a company for doing horrible things?

I asked a simple question that started this line of conversation:

If people are boycotting Ubisoft over this, are they also boycotting companies like Wal-Mart? It's not that hard to spot the hypocrisy of boycotting a company like Ubisoft while buying Nintendo games at Wal-Mart. 

Ubisoft says some bad things about Wii.

Wii boys: Lets boycott Ubisoft!

~Tenchu 4 announced~

Wii Boys: b-b-b-but its not developed by ubisoft =(((

People: a boycott means you boycott a company completely. You are still giving them money.

Wii boys: no, no we meant bad Ubisoft Developed games.

Hilarious stuff there kids.

I'm still boycotting them.
Learn Japanese and get a JPN Wii.

Not interested in Tenchu 4 anyways.
