Is there a point in mentioning the boycott at the end? Especially since there is always someone doing a boycott of someone else

I’d say a boycott over complicity in genocide is worth mention.

Personally, I think throwing that line in an article that has nothing to do with Microsoft's political involvements is tacky, unnecessary, and pandering. It's not like the internet is lacking in gaming websites obsessed with politics. Maybe this site can "not" join them, at least in pure news articles?

Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft is facing a general boycott for their actions. Therefore, buying Skyrim would not be in the interest of someone boycottting Microsoft.

I didn’t realize that wanting people to not-die was pandering, but I can sympathize trying to find a space where you can avoid feeling bad about the overwhelming amount of awfulness in the modern world. I do think you’re maybe looking in the wrong place if you’re searching for that space on the internet, though.

I read the talkback forum post first, so I was a bit confused by the original comment. It doesn’t feature there, so maybe that’s the alternative you’re looking for?
