Yeah, bad press has been the most effective since companies will still make their money. Like Dragon Dogma 2 steam count numbers are high at 100k+, so people are going to buy it. But, the bad reviews from people who bought it at least has led to bad press. So vocal complaints putting a company be into PR mode has a better chance than boycotts that are easily undone by people who don't follow it.
