People constantly yell "boycott boycott" about this bullshit, but have no conception that boycotts require massive class solidarity across huge groups of people. Getting together a boycott sufficient to hurt the profits of CoD, a game that made at least 800 million dollars, is exrtemely non-trivial.
I honestly feel bad for them. They sorta/kinda have the rightish idea, albeit they're thinking in a "vote with your wallet" way instead of a "beat the living shit out of John Boycott and threaten to burn his house down with him inside if he doesn't stop trying to evict people" way, but they just don't know enough about how these things work to know why it won't work for them.
I feel it's less about thinking it'll work and more that consumer activism is super easy and the only thing they know how to do.
I’ll definitely be sending that middle one when I hear people talk about microtransactions in the future
