What are you playing?

And even if boycotting this shit didn't make a difference (and, let's face it, individually it doesn't), at least you, personally, aren't consuming garbage. Sure, on my workplace alone I can pinpoint at least six soycucks who'll blindly pre-order tickets for the next Mahvel shit I'm not watching, not even for free (literally - my employer gifted me a movie theater pass on my last birthday and I let it expire because there is no point in going out to watch garbage). But at least I'm saving the money and the mental well-being of not getting involved into this culture of consuming crap, asking for seconds, and getting HYPED! for it.

It may not end up bankrupcing the Jew Mouse, but whatever. As you said, it will fail on its own when the time comes.

Of course, any individual can't deal the finishing blow. What instead happens is the death of a thousand cuts.

Just casually mention that you don't watch capeshit whenever you're asked about that stuff. It'll catch on. People thought the Transformer movies would be hip shit forever and today you can't go watch one without people thinking you're a low IQ mouthbreather. Capeshit will eventually get looked at in the same way. It'll just fall out of fashion.

Boycotting would be worth it even if the only thing it did was make game journalists and faggots mad, which it does.

But it does so much more than that. It works even better than voting because it's not a two-choice system. You're not choosing between Corruptocrats or Recuckicans. You're spending your money on things you find worth in. And it makes advertisers fucking terrified when they see someone spreading a meme or popular video that encourages you to not consume mindlessly.

In a capitalist society, deliberately not consuming shit is the ONLY WAY you can have a voice. It's the only way that you can tell a company you don't like the direction they're going in and you don't want them to keep soypozzing your consumer hole. If you claim to hate capeshit, but then you go buy tickets to every new capeshit movie, nothing will change. Your negative opinion means nothing to the people making the thing you hate. In the same way that a downboat on youtube counts the same as an upboat for their engagement algorithm.

We've seen so many fucking examples JUST in gaming, where a massive flop combined with bad PR and people voting with their wallets either has killed a franchise or is killing it now. Dynasty Warriors got fucking bodied by DW9. I bet koei was planning to milk a ton of dlc from that and re-release it 3-4 more times. They can't do that shit now because nobody bought it the first time, let alone any dlc. Fallout got fucking shredded, and not just critically. That shit was selling at bargain bin prices in a few short weeks after release. Entire franchise is tainted now, especially since Fallout 4 was already mediocre.

And unlike with movies, they don't have China to fall back to. Very often they don't even havy Japan to make up lost numbers in the west. If Bethesdashit bombs here, no rice nation will pick up the slack.

P&G reportedly lost 8 billion dollars just on men boycotting their crap based on woke propaganda.

HUSH! Boycots don't work!

Bad goy! Repeat after me, "I'm too small and my individual purchase cannot possibly make an impact! I should continue to buy in the hopes that maybe the next one will be a little bit better. Boycotts never work."

P&G reportedly lost 8 billion dollars just on men boycotting their crap based on woke propaganda.

Hate to be a party pooper but that 8 billion lost was over 10 years. They went from like 75% market share to 56% due to places like Dollar Shave Club taking their customers, the woke ad was them scared shitless that young people in particular were abandoning Gillette, so like typical Boomers they thought most millenial men actually like social justice because some feminazi cunt marketer lied to them.

Not to say it didn't backfire, recently they admitted they fucked up (which means it actually worked and did hurt them) but we don't know the exact number. We'd have to check with Dollar Shave Club, Safety Razor manufacturers and others to see how much money they made to find out how much Gillette lost. I know I stopped buying their shit and went with saftey razors since they are insanely cheaper anyway for premium quality and you feel like you are shaving like an adult, like riding a bike without training wheels. More danger but a superior experience.

Only downside is that you can't travel with them on a plane, since you know, actual fucking razor blades and all.

I've got an invite to Tom Clancy Ghostmenz Recorder Breakdance Closed Beta Boys. Yesterday I only had about an hour to check it out and the servers went down for a few minutes and then half an hour later came a maintenence break.
But so far it ran really well and seems pretty good, actually. I liked the previous game Wildlands Bolivia Busters as well, especially because I got it for free.
Brechpunkt is a good deal different, though. I'll play some more later today and report back.
