In a show of solidarity with the Palestinian-led BDS movement, indie label Ice Water Games has removed one of its projects, open-world tactics RPG Tenderfoot Tactics, from the Xbox store.

    Feels like likes and prayers.

    Pulling off a game doesn’t really change anything.

    As like any military force would even care the slightest a random developer stopped their game.

      you missed the Hopes Others Will Do The Same part.

      they’re pulling their game as part of the larger BDS boycott. the point is to put pressure on complicit companies (in this case microsoft) for them to stop working with israel

      the IDF won’t care, but if enough devs pull their games, and if enough people stop using xbox products & services, microsoft will care.
