No. It wont.

because while there may be the rare people who are willing to speak with their wallet and make a personal sacrifice..

The vast, overwhelming bulk of gamers are myopic little weasels that'll keep shilling out the cash, even while actively crying about the awful things they are supporting, because they are too afraid of missing the next shiny wave to dare make any kind of stand or sacrifice.

Don't know why you got downvoted. This is the sad reality, not just for gaming, but boycotts in general. They rarely work because the majority just doesn't give a shit.

Yeah, but its a little different for gaming/tech stuff.

Cant expect the average person to know about nestle's atrocities, because they arent active in nestle communties online, engaging with other nestle consumers, etc etc.

Gaming/Tech people tend to be more online, more engaged, more like to follow news about the subject, etc. More like to be online criticizing the issues, as well.. and you still end up with shit like this, because like I said, gamers are.. on the whole, self centered self gratifying idiots that, no matter how much they cry about the great injustice of it all, still cant do without their shiny.
