Not buying -> impact on sales

and how do people know which game to not buy? by reading reviews

Yes, but buying the game to leave a negative review is against the point.

what happens is you get:

Do not buy! Time at review: 0.9 hours (Total played: 356 hours)

Which basically tells people its some bullshit protest.
