No, boycotts are not a corporate death knell. No one is saying that. LITERALLY no one is saying their personal decision or reasoning is the cause of this news.

EVERYONE ks pkinting at shitty things Ubisoft does, says, it caused them to not bjy it and likely is impacting others' decisions... then you come along going, "NUHUH NUHUH, Ubisoft isn't losing money because YOU didn't buy it!"

My dude... we FUCKING KNOW THAT!! We're saying UBISOFT shot themselves in the foot with shitty behavior. This article is literally about the effects of people not buying en masse, and you're saying that the NEWS WE ARE READING is not possible...

Just stop. Just stop. Boycotts most often do not work, but THIS IS NOT A BOYCOTT!! This is people explaining why they stopped giving Ubisoft money. Holy fuck, you are good at doubling down on a bad idea.

The irony of you constantly telling people they don't actually know why they do not pay Ubisoft...

My dude... We're TELLING YOU why we aren't buying it. You're just too dumb and stubborn to accept the truth. Obstinance makes you pathetic, not correct.

People with 6+ figure salaries who think they get to rule the world they've done less than nothing to help create.

Well if they didn't even notice an axis on a graph, they might be too stupid for a graph...

My point was only to say that 5% is very mich visible on a 0-100% graph.

I mean, the fascist wing of the conservatives like that rhe bar is so low.

Hell, for decades, both parties loved the fact that the average voter is ill informed and treats it more like team sports... Remember how pompous and prideful the Hillary crowd was in 2016? Yea... the core parties are both slimeballs when it comes to beating the team sports drum.

Though to be fair, only one party is so utterly stupid and bereft of actual morals that they now have an openly fascist wing to deal with, sooooo...

Dunno'. I hope so, but Asmond has proven to be a bit ... uh... dense. Hopefully he at least learns not to use such negative language when he supposedly doesn't mean the entire meaning.

People are basically good, but criminally ignorant on average.

Just look at Asmond Gold's recent ban. I doubt the dude would ever even think about shooting a Palestinian himself, but boy will he happily dehumanize an entire culture as easy as taking a sip of water!

5% is noticeable unless the graph is under 20 pixels tall. Even then, dithering or antialiasing techniques could make it visible.

Linux isn't that bad these days unless you want to use something silly and not supported by the manufacturers, like nVidia's Optimus or other crap. Even then, the linux folks have it figured out. You can get step by step instructions for about any issue, even the complicated weird shit like Optimus.

There are many flavors of murdering psychopaths. A few mass murderers from history would've been called cliche portrayals today.

The banality of evil is what needs to be learned. Much like fascist rhetoric sounds stupid and is obvious in a vaccuum, when people are drenched in it, A LOT of people slowly succumb to the horrible attitude even if they never start explicitly supporting fascistic positions.

It is poison much like mental illness becomes a poison, slowly enabling mostly normal people to do terrible things, like Todd. Todd was only a psychopath in that he exhibited no sympathy, which a lot of "normal" psychopaths have. It took an enabling environment to turn Todd in to a dengerous captor and murderer.
