And they will get away with it because nobody does what will really hurt Ubisoft, which is NOT buy the games. No. They will simply come on reddit or here and complain, and then throw their hands up and accept it when that fails to produce any results.

I am a little slow - what exactly I am looking at here¿? Many of them seem to be playing modern warfare 2

It's a Steam Group for an MW2 boycott, you're seeing the members of that group and what they're playing.

I always found this to be a bad example. 15 people out of the 51 on that page are playing the game they're in a boycott group for. That's a clear minority, even if that had been representative of all 1557 members.

  1. It's page one, so I don't think this is a selected subset.

  2. This is just the people playing right now, and only people playing on steam. This doesn't show all of the people who bought the game or are playing on console.

  3. Obviously none of the gaming boycotts have worked, and we're both putting way too much thought into one image.
