That's actually a fair point. But this game never needed it before, this is highly irregular behavior.
Player count is still down. I hope it keeps falling and all these desperate attempts fail. Then Epic might cut their losses and send this game to the Pearly Gates with Paragon and all their other flops. Oh, and all the virtue signallers will be out of a job.
Player count is possibly also down because they took it off of steam so for pc they are only pulling in traffic from epic game store. It’s also a game that’s over 5 years old at this point so player count drops regardless of tweets. The “virtue signallers” are probably one social media manager or community manager who would not get blamed for a 6 year old game losing players.
So artist, programmers, and designers that had nothing to do with it will all lose their jobs. Kind of a crappy thing to wish on someone because the intern running their social media accounts doing what the pr team told them to. But again, a drop in players and an uptick of events for a 6 year old game has nothing to do about some dumb tweet about feminism
The harsh reality is that when a company commits seppuku, it's not just the people who made the bad decisions who gets fired. It's everyone who failed to prevent the bad decision, and stuck around after for long enough that the bad decision had consequences.

That's true, but if the game gets shut down, everyone involved will be fired. That's my goal.

That's the whole point of boycotting...the goal is to bankrupt the target. At least, that's how I always saw it.
I guess we'll have to see. I'm really hoping it is and that people are drawing a line. One day for them is enough, a whole month is insanity.
