BDS calls for Boycott of Microsoft Game Pass, Minecraft, New XBox Consoles
No more Call of Duty. No more Minecraft. No more Xbox (unless you already own one).
The BDS National Committee (BNC) has decided to make Microsoft a “priority target” to pressure the company to end its support for Israel’s war effort, after revelations that its AI and cloud services have been heavily used in the genocidal assault, organizers told Drop Site News.
Two Microsoft employees fired for their activism, Abdo Mohamed and Hossam Nasr, played key roles in driving the BNC’s decision. The pair organized a vigil outside the company’s headquarters in 2024.
The committee is asking all those who have taken its pledge to take three concrete steps
-
Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription
-
Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft, and Call of Duty—flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft
-
Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories, and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard)
ill use this opportunity to say windows is shit.
after getting used to linux, its hard to go back. we dont need microsoft.
Gamers rise up (against genocide)
I love it when I'm already technically boycotting because I just hated all that shit to begin with.
The only real loss is Minecraft, which Microsoft has been slowly enshittifying anyway. Java Edition is the redheaded stepchild now.
PlayStation controllers have way better build quality than Xbox controllers. I hope Valve brings back Steam controllers.
Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard haven't made good games in over a decade.
I never used GamePass because I like actually having ownership over my games and developers being paid properly.
I live Linux full time now because Windows is trash.
I have been boycotting Microsoft for 10-15 years already. Feel fine.
Damn i play World of Warcraft a lot...
Which afaik runs very well under Linux.
I am going to setup a linux gaming distro soon. Just reading about which one to chose! I am going there, slowly!
Aren't some WoW private servers free and don't require you to pay the monthly subscription?
I think so. Never tried one, but might do that!
