Unless they want dividends

Stock isn’t revenue.

Derp. You are right.

Ubisoft’s stocks aren’t ubisoft’s assets. It is opinion on how much they worth, not how much they have.

Unless you worked in Blizzard.

Maybe in developing countries, but in developed world(Europe mostly) it isn’t.

This is why boycott doesn’t work. They copy each other. So, grab pitchforks and torches(EU citizens only).

Boycott doesn’t work, grab pitchforks and torches(EU citizens only).

Avoiding doesn’t work, grab pitchforks and torches(EU citizens only).

1. Boycott doesn’t work, grab pitchforks and torches(EU citizens only).

You deceived consumers, Ubisoft.

Ubisoft is being fucked on consumer protection grounds, not on false advertisement. It doesn’t matter what they said on box, they broke the law.

EU cutizens can sign European Citizens’ Initiative that aims to prevent publishers using killswitches to permanently disable games. If it gets 1M signatures, it will be discussed in European Comission.
