Boycott Microsoft

[Evil Smurf]

Sorry, I'm sticking to Microsoft, and sticking to Windows on my computer, Apple Macs don't support SLI. Plus I don't like paying extra for my hardware to be encased in aluminium.

strickly speaking a hackintosh does

I'll not buy buying a console anyway, I'm sticking with my MacBook Pro (running OSX, android, Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7)

There's no need for a boycott. Just don't buy the damn thing. Really is that simple. Microsoft will either learn from its mistake and change, or its Xbox division will die in flames (Microsoft, as a whole, is way too large and stable a company for something like this to take it down, but it still won't be too happy about it; also, fire Balmer).

If it wasn't for State of Decay, and State of Decay alone, I'd have already cancelled my Live subscription.

The problem is that blanket boycotts don't work. They send the wrong message to the company. If sales drop across the board, they won't be able to figure out what exactly caused it. Sure, there's this boycott that started over the Xbox One, but that couldn't possibly account for all of these lost sales on Windows 8, could it? No, what we need to do is boycott the product that we are unsatisfied with. Boycott the Xbox One diligently. Do not buy one, do not encourage others to buy one, do not buy games for it, even for friends. If Microsoft sees a disproportionately large loss of profits from the Xbox One, then they will know that's where they done fucked up.

So, if anything, we should boycott the Xbox One. You know, the console that we already weren't going to buy.

Remember when we boycotted Mass Effect?

Remember when we boycotted Modern Warfare 2?

Remember when we boycotted Left4Dead2?

Remember when we boycotted Battlefield 3?

Remember what a dismal failure every single boycott was? Because the market adapts to the very few people who boycotted? Because most of the boycotters had no teeth and got the game anyway because oh I hate what they're doing, but I NEEED IT I NEED IT.

The Boycott against windows ME by techs worked fine. It Depends on how bad something is broken. Microsoft forced the military and many companies to boycott the xbone already due to their design.
