      I’m sure a lot of the people who said they were going to boycott it did boycott it. But a boycott was never going to work for this game. The IP alone meant it was going to sell 10M+ copies, even if it was absolutely terrible.

      Boycotts never work with games, regardless of the reason. Remember the Modern Warfare Boycott when women were introduced to the franchise as playable?

        I mean it worked for me - I didn’t buy it or play it, despite it looking pretty cool.

          Just because you didn’t buy it doesn’t mean the boycott succeeded. It still sold 22 million+ copies

            Yeah, 22M+ minus 1, me. I didn’t plan the boycott, I just don’t agree with giving my money to JK. So I didn’t.

      Are you a transphobe? Or why are you happy about this?

          I don’t know what “woke” means here. I was under the impression that it’s synonymous to “the others” in the artificially instigated drama between the US political parties.

          I’m not from the US, so I guess, I would be “the others” in some sense, but I have no idea, if I specifically count towards the implied-evil others here.
