And it especially won't when we all go out and buy the thing we're supposedly boycotting. Oh well, I didn't buy it. Maybe in a year or two, after the likes of Activision and EA have successfully killed the PC as a viable gaming platform, while they're walking around and feeling all big about themselves, I'll go out and buy one copy. Just so I can grin and think about Activision's leadership freaking when they discover that there's at least one guy playing PC games out there in the world.

And then when they send their angry goons to come to my house, I'll beat them off, Home Alone style.
Depending on how mad you are, you could do it the Straw Dogs way!
