Entirely probable that students put it up and faculty doesn't care enough to keep taking it down.

This isnt anywhere near the level of mainstream game that most of these boycotts are focused on. It's definitely a more niche audience.

The biggest thing is if streamers get in on the boycott. That'll affect sales the most.

It was very much not an action oriented game. It was more about building resources and exploration. I can definitely see it not appealing to large swatches of the gaming population. Especially those used to the modern spate of action rpgs.

It has very little to connect with even if you do play minecraft. If you watch youtubers play minecraft, on the other hand, it's probably perfect.

It's basically a gen Alpha (maybe Z at a stretch) cringe comedy movie more than a minecraft movie. That's mostly just the setting.

Yeah, totally not engineered by people who profit off people getting dumber...
