I've already been turning down covering any Microsoft-owned properties and boycotting their products, but it's nice to have concrete steps to point to as a part of the boycott.
Cancel your GamePass. Don't buy Microsoft products. Don't play Microsoft games. Don't cover Microsoft games. It's so easy.
