Pretty sure the Hell Divers 2 backlash was the only time I’ve ever seen gamers win over a corporation.
There's been others, over the decades. This isn't the first time they tried putting ads into games. All the other times were pushed back successfully.
Blizzard fans have made me absolutely cynical about gamer boycotts.
True-ish, but people really did step up more in more recent days, and voted with their wallets. The pop dropped was bad enough and for long enough that the company got sold off to Microsoft to recover, and Bobby is gone.
