In the end of the day, we can't pretend that video games are anything but products. They are produced by autonomous companies, usually in line with market trends, for an audience. If you don't like a game, regardless of how half baked your reasoning or the polical beliefs that lead you there, you have the right not to buy it. Vote with your wallet. It clearly wasn't made with you in mind, and  they'll probably survive without your money. There's no such thing as a taste consensus.

I just want to clarify, you can criticize a company for being purposefully controversial or greedy business practices. Fans of the medium, need to criticize the things they love if they want it to improve. Fan backlash is sometimes necessary and sometimes works quite effectively. Game related products are no exception.

The problem comes in when people that never played games and never will, boycott things they'd never would've bought in the first place, or started to make comments about the people -playing- the games. When they had shit to do with their production...It's just disingenuous political activism. 

But yes, that's a step in the right direction more often than not.
