Those two are not mutually exclusive. Cult following isn't good enough to fund a well sized company. Edited May 31, 2017 by Spartwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that may be the least convincing argument I've ever seen on the internet. You don't mention even a single reason anyone should care, or what the consequences might be of either course of action. Boycotts are for things that an established market buys regularly, like bus rides. I've technically been "boycotting" SQUAD since 2014, since it's been that long since I bought their only product. (Yes, I know, DLC. But you can't even boycott that yet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Me Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Seeing how Take Two owns Rockstar (GTA) and 2K (Civilization: Beyond Earth), I'd like to see if they produce part skin packs as merchandise for other Take Two games. Kinda like what Minecraft did with Fallout and Magic: The Gathering 4 minutes ago, Brent Kerman said: I'm just going to drop this here, and run: This. See you over on Reddit!

Where we have more freedom of speech! This is a gross overeaction. Squad have told us they will have full control of what content is added to the game, and I actually believe them. Call me naive, but I think now my intial worries have been put aside this won't negatively effect the game. also, may I point out, Squad is a MARKETING COMPANY. Based in Mexico. How many people do you think will not use Squad's service after seeing your post in an english speaking forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmage Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Look on the bright side. They didn't get bought out by EA. They also didn't get bought out by Microsoft, or NCSoft, or Nexon, or many of the other shady pay-to-win publishers. Is it good news? Not particularly. But it could be worse (far worse). At least I haven't boycotted Take-Two, and own (and play) a few of their other games (borderlands, civs); if it were EA or MS, it would earn an instant 'I'm outta here' from me.
