That choice should have been made the moment the switch from ASE update to ASA was made. Boycot now only gives more reasons to "sunset" servers, saving them more money while the main revenue is already in their pocket.
If you can't handle this well known behaviour from certain publishers/developpers: Never pre-order anything from them, wait till the promised project is complete.
Calling for a boycot 3 years after the fact is going nowhere, you should have sticked with ASE instead of jumping on the trainwreck's bandwagon.
