Disney (and subsidiaries like Marvel) are protecting stories and characters that they write. That's a bit different from protecting the rules to a game, which generates a completely different outcome each time it's played. This isn't to say that the expression of the rules themselves aren't worth some degree of protection, but the management of the IP is different because the nature of the IP is different and is used differently with respect to derivative works.All of that is just a recipe for inaction. There's no way someone can consistently and ethically boycott everything that's worthy of boycotting. So we pick and choose which ones to prioritize. That's not unethical or entitled.</blockquote>
