Ok so you are a Wii owner boycotting Ubisoft who is going to mostly make HD games.

How in hell does that affect Ubisoft :P

Well even that's going to far. The real question is how are you supposed to make an effective boycott with lest than 50 people in a market that is a multi billion dollar industry. It's laughable.

 


A boycott is a personal thing... I don't know what makes you think anyone assumes it will have significant financial impact on Ubisoft.

F*** you Ubisoft.

It'll be a tough pill for me to swallow if I ever buy another Ubisoft game.
I never cared for their games and I never will.
Ubisoft...you fail. It's a good thing I never cared for their games.
Pretend Ubisoft doesnt exist
Ubisoft sucks anyways.

Fuck Ubisoft. I will gladly buy EA games because they do not think Wii users are total retards.
etc.
There's hundreds of posts like this one that I've seen and they all say the same thing.  But none of them are saying don't buy Ubisoft developed games, that only came today, when the found out Ubisoft was publishing Tenchu 4.
And now people are just taking it out of their sig, so they don't look like hypocrites.
In order to sleep at night, people are trying to justify what their sig says, or re-word it to only talk about games, and it's sad that people change around what they believe in, in order to not look silly.

Do you honestly think I care about what a random guy on the internet may think about me?

Lmao

When in the hell did I mention your name?

If you felt compelled to reply to the thread, then you must care about what I said.

It's not a game developed by them though.
Doesnt matter you still make them money to fund their crappy games on the Wii. The boycott was pointlesss...

 


But we want good games from ubisoft, not some developer from the street. And personally I don't care if they fund games using the money they get.

Ubi still makes money out of you if you buy this game, so whose the loser here at the end? The one boycotting Ubi or Ubi itself? 

 

YEah, but not as much as somebody who made the game. They also have to spend money for advertisement, and funding game developement. It's not their crappy game. My boycott is against all of their crappy games anyway.

 


 Bolded: I don't know how many times you have to be told this, but that isn't a boycott at all.

Exactly

You're "boycotting", but still lining their pockets to use on PS360 games.  

This is the least amount of dedication, and the worst boycott that I have ever seen implemented.  It's a shame that people don't have any willpower.  As soon as a "might be okay" game came out, ubisoft was cool again cause they're not developing it. 

People have no morals.

Slow down there.  We are just buying a game published by a company whose practices we don't agree with.  It's not like we are sleeping with our wives' sisters.

Don't worry, DMeisterJ often says things he doesn't mean (probably because he's too excited while replying to these threads; from what I've seen, much more excited than the people boycotting Ubisoft).

Well, I meant that.

You have a semi-valid excuse for boycotting a company, yet the first chance you get, you say, screw the boycott.

WTF?

First of all, I'm reserving judgment on this one. But I understand it if people don't want to boycott this game, after all they'd also be hurting developers who are supporting the Wii.

Second of all, having no morals means something much worse than just commiting some random hypocrisy. You just need to use some words better, it's a bit outrageous to say people have no morals over something so trivial.

Trivial?

Ubisoft was being hung for what they said, and now it's all cool cause they're publishing Tenchu 4.

Maybe "morals" is wrong, but the intent is still there.  For all the hate and shit Ubi endured, and to now, it turn to indifference is crazy.
