Hogwarts Legacy finished as 2023’s best-selling video game in the U.S. market in dollar sales. It is the first year since 2008 that a non-Call of Duty or Rockstar developed title ranked 1st Rock Band. (twitter.com)

I think that boycott did the opposite of what it was supposed to

As boycotts tend to do.

Something something Streisand effect.

But probably not, I'm guessing most people weren't aware there was a boycott.

If assholes wanna play a boring game to own the libs, then that's on them, lmao. Similar to them buying barbie and bud light shit just to set it on fire when they are mad

Own the trans-commubity you mean. And people played it because bassically nobody could give a rats ass about the boycott..
