- House House expressed a desire for Xbox players to experience Big Walk but stated this will not happen until Microsoft/Xbox is removed from the BDS boycott list.
- BDS advocates for boycotting all Microsoft gaming products, including Xbox consoles, Game Pass subscriptions, and games like Minecraft and Call of Duty, as part of its campaign for Palestinian rights and justice.
