Honestly I think I might have misunderstood this whole topic. This has nothing to do with Activision punishing people for supporting freedom and democracy right?

No. This thread is about Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision, being in Epsteins "black book", as it is called. As you may know, Epstein was a major rapist and pedophile involved in sex trafficking of minors. Allegedly.

Ok, I know who you are talking about. He killed himself in jail right? Either way I guess the point I was making still stands. I`m not buying anything with Activisions name on it.

Buy a Japanese copy of the game. Activision doesn’t publish it there.

You know what. That`s a really good idea. I think I`ll try and do that though I have no idea where to start. I guess I`ll try and figure out how to do that this weekend. Thanks.

I don't like Bobby "The Horned" Kotick just as much as the next guy, but being on that list doesn't prove a whole lot, other than that the world of the insanely rich is a small one.

Though not wanting to buy anything from Activision and by extend Activision Blizzard in general is something i can get behind, even though they've had little to nothing to do with Sekiro.

You're confusing them with blizzard, I believe. Then again, they kinda fused, or something?

Technically, "Activision Blizzard" is one company. The name "Blizzard" is a brand that's owned by Activision, not a separate corporate entity in their own right. They've retained SOME measure of autonomy in spite of that simply due to how major a business they had been prior to the acquisition by Activision.

As such, any action by Blizzard is, technically speaking, also Activision, and vice versa. And any attempt to boycott either company over whatever actions you take offense to is only really going to be meaningful if you boycott "both" companies rather than taking the money you planned to spend on Sekiro and throwing it into Overwatch, or vice versa.

I mean I already knew Kotick was pond scum so this isn't exactly shocking news.

but what does it actually matter? it's not like it even means anything more then "he's wealthy enough that Epstein wanted a piece of that action and the activision email address doesn't exactly suggest a close relationship.
