Look at what happened with EA and Battelfront II: they lost sales because of the controversy so what are they doing? Putting microtransactions back in. Despite the loss of sales being because of those. Classic.
This isn't entirely true. Not only did EA come over a million units under their estimation, they lost three million in stock and rumours are circling Disney has begun looking for another publisher. EA took a beating over the consumer revolt. Yes, micro-transactions are going back in but the reward system has been heavily scaled back to accommodate people who only want to grind. Honestly, it's more a desperation move on their part to squeeze what little money is left before Battlefront II dies, which will happen significantly faster due to the controversy. Voting with your wallet does work, it just requires enough people to agree.
