        Doing the boycott “right” means not paying money. Corpos think each pirated copy is a loss. That’s how they explain it to their investors too:

        “Look at all this money we’re not making because of those damn dirty pirates!”

          That’s not what they think, that’s just how their law lackeys justify horrendous fines. Their market analysts will still see the „talk“ about the game, by people who played, legally or not.

          I mean, does anyone above age 18 even have any energy at all?

          I’ve watched more gameplay than my total gametime combined, its more relaxing and for horror games for example, its less stress on the heart.

      Probably not really feasible - it will require constant connection to a back-end server to play or some bullshit like that.

      But even if you can, that’s not the answer. The proper action is to deny them entirely. Don’t play the game, don’t play PUBG, don’t do anything that expands their reach, money or not.

      They need to suffer with NOBODY playing this game. They need to suffer by people deleting their Battlegrounds accounts. Software piracy is what makes games legendary.
