For sure. I just don’t see how this helps. I don’t think a bunch of pissed off people are going to run to the shop to purchase the items they want them too.

Maybe in a month they will, but people are rightfully piiissssssed right now.

Gamers rarely stick to things. A boycott might last a whole week.

The whales will, and those are the only people that matter to epic and all the game publishers with micro transaction F2P games.

A handful of whales bring in more revenue than thousands of regular players. They’re the ones these games are designed to milk for every cent. The rest of us are just a bonus
