I've finally had enough with EA, and am actively boycotting their products, starting several months ago.
So far only two properties I would have bought have been denied my purchase.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Sim City (due for release this spring)
Are there any games you have boycotted?
Only post if you actually WOULD have bought the game(and didn't), if not for ethical considerations.
In general I do not boycott, heck I don't even typically put people on ignore lists, killfiles, or report them, even when they troll me (which happens with some frequency on forums, I think the last couple of days here have been my higest count with like 3 trolls one after another), as someone, a person or company, could always change or add valuable input or perspective on another subject later.
I decided I'm not buying Dead Space 3, but that's because of what's in the product itself: the microtransaction system. Not because of a general boycott on EA products.
See if EA produces a product of a sort I want, and doesn't include that kind of cash grabbing nonsense, I will buy their product. I target the behavior, not the company over all.
I speak my mind frequently, my attitude has always been if you agree with me, do what I do. If not, don't. Trying to organize something as official as a formal boycott really isn't my style, especially over the internet where it's an exercise similar to herding cats. Rage from the internet is a powerful thing, but it's not typically something that can be intentionally directed by an individual.
