you missed the Hopes Others Will Do The Same part.

they’re pulling their game as part of the larger BDS boycott. the point is to put pressure on complicit companies (in this case microsoft) for them to stop working with israel

the IDF won’t care, but if enough devs pull their games, and if enough people stop using xbox products & services, microsoft will care.
