    Boycotts only work when the group boycotting is large enough to impact the bottom line.

    Most gamers just don’t care enough about accounts and launchers to boycott a game or company. They just want to come home from work and play games.

      It’s less about most gamers caring and more about people failing to advertise the boycott and act effectively. I just think the gaming community is much larger than people realize and even if everyone in a subreddit about the game agrees to boycott it, that’s nothing compared to the number of people who play that game and aren’t in the subreddit and don’t know to boycott.
