HappyPunkPotato: I never gave my opinion on people's motives. I was just pointing out that qwixter seemed to imply people wanted gog to do poorly but then said he never implied it.
Well, if we follow the short exchange between qwixter and breja, one could argue that breja wrote (quote): "I had no idea we were
supposed to hope GOG was doing poorly.", to which qwixter replied (quote): "At no point did I say or imply that you were
supposed to hope..."
Semantics, sure...but in this case qwixter would be kinda correct.
He actually never implied anyone was "
supposed to" hope for GOG to do poorly.
I, on the other hand, am saying, that if you partake in a boycott against a business, it is very obvious that you hope for that business to do poorly - else your boycott is nothing but a waste of time.
See - the effect you wish to achieve with any boycott against a business, is to hurt that business financially, so that they "learn from their errors" and steer back to the course, that the boycotting group deems the "correct course".
Therefore it's very funny to read
(either in this thread, or elsewhere) from people admitting that they are boycotting GOG, but with in the same breath claim, that they don't want to harm GOG.
