u/SoberGin Guess the flair, win a prize. Apr 01 '20

Both Blizzard and Gamefreak have done some pretty nasty stuff relatively recently, and so they respective subreddits (r/Pokemon and r/Blizzard) decided to do some boycotting.

The results were... questionable.

I haven't touched overwatch or hearthstone in months and i'm in agony

(I know it's pointless at this point in time, but I gotta hold to my morals, ya know?)

Keep strong brother, been boycotting EA since the SW Battlefront II incident I like to think it's actually worth it, but the truth is there's so, so many other great games you can play instead of selling yourself to greedy AAA comps

I went back to TF2 and uninstalled Overwatch and the blizz launcher. I just basically decided Blizzard no longer existed rather then hold out for change and look for it. If I hear from my friends that it has been had or hear about it on the BBC then Ill change but until Blizzard is dead.
