There are some games that are pretty fishy. HAWX2 stinks like a rotting shark. Sure, it still runs fine on AMD cards. Sure helps to skew those "overall performance charts" towards nVidia cards though.
I don't think the OP is being paranoid. I think it goes on. It's sad that nobody who can do anything about it speaks out. I don't know why reviewers use these outlier games for comparative benching? What's the point of running a bench that is obviously skewed, one way or the other.
As far as boycotting goes, you don't need a hard boycott for it to be effective. Just don't pre-order a title and wait til the 2nd week of release B4 you buy it. Done right, that will cause enough of a panic to make people pay attention. Good luck getting it organized though. People just don't give a sh!t, unfortunately.
