Went from an “instant buy” to a “never purchase on principle”. Such a shame.

Too bad everyone will buy it anyway. Point me to a boycott of a video game that actually materialized… I’ll wait…

Il buy it on sale once the game tanks and they fire that asshole.
But I haven’t been looking forward to a game as much as Subnautica 2, and now it’s off the radar…

That’s exactly what I did after Activision fucked over Infinity Ward. I used to play them all the time, but haven’t bought anything Call of Duty since.
Doesn’t mean much, but I’m doing what little I can.

This isnt anywhere near the level of mainstream game that most of these boycotts are focused on. It’s definitely a more niche audience.
The biggest thing is if streamers get in on the boycott. That’ll affect sales the most.

I’m wondering if the first one needs to go from a game I recommend highly (or upvote recommendations of if I’m too late) to one I no longer acknowledge because the same assholes probably get paid from each of those sales, too.

I can say that personally, I do hesitate if I see a game with mixed reviews and will at least check out why people don’t like it. And if steam says a high volume of “irrelevant” (or whatever word they use) reviews are not shown, I’ll click through to see what they are about to decide for myself if they are relevant or just losers whining about “woke” shit.

That’s kind of where I’m at with Borderlands 4 and that shit stain Randy Pitchford. His situation isn’t as bad as this I think, but it’s a deal breaker none the less. Don’t bite the hand that feeds mother fuckers.

Yeah, from a user standpoint, but companies won’t use it as much of a metric as they do sales.

Wow that’s some bullshit. They deserve this boycott.

bad reviews -> people hesitate to buy -> impact on sales

There’s been an interesting development; Krafton have responded with some pretty direct claims and the founders are suing.
TL;DR the most important claim seems to be
In particular, following the failure of Moonbreaker, KRAFTON asked Charlie to devote himself to the development of Subnautica 2. However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project.
Ever since the Doom Eternal Mick Gordon situation there has been several more controversies (Bayonetta’s VA pay comes to mind) where it seems the first person to make the claim is hiding something. Is it an attempt to control the narrative? It has always backfired so far so we’ll see if that trend continues.

I also was. Extremely disappointing. I will “find” a place to download it though without having to pay.
