Many people including myself actually use their computers for both work and games, and it's not tolerable in such a case to have spyware or worms slow down the computer, stealing important computation resources when the games have been turned off. It's not a boycott per se, but the effects for the game companies that include this spyware and worms are quite similar to boycott. Hopefully it'll teach them to remove such things. If people don't protest, we'll probably see every ******* game infested by virus, and then it'll be impossible to have the same computer for work and for games = $500 extra expenses.
