Just capitalist scum doing capitalism things

True. Keep pushing the boycott.

It's not going to work. For every person that hears the calls to boycott and acts on it, ten others won't. For every person that hears the calls to boycott, ten others won't hear that call at all. The only viable way of cutting into CoD in my opinion is to give people an alternative to play.

Battlebit Remastered is quite good, but it aims to undercut Battlefield.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Battlefield is undercutting itself by being terrible. Battlebit is restoring what originally made battlefield great but has since been stripped out.
