Not it won't, activision will scrub the franchise. Let me explain 3 things.
1. Activision is a multi-billion dollar company, you aren't going to hurt their bottom line by boycotting two DLCs. You'd have to get everybody to boycott not only Destiny, but also CoD, WoW, Starcraft, and every other game they make. Or you're doing nothing.
2. Destiny made $500 million on launch day, for those of you that don't know that was activision's entire investment for the FRANCHISE, 10 years 4 games, and they made it back on DAY ONE. Everything after that was more or less pure profit. From a business stand point if the project goes south you don't spend extra cash to bring it back, you roll it up and count your earnings.
3. A lot of you won't want to hear this but if you want Destiny to get better then we're going to have to stick with the franchise, stay on the forums and tell them what we want, let them know that we don't think it's a lost cause and give them time to rewrite the story. Because as we all know the original was scrapped a year before launch and what we were given was Frankensteined together from that original story. Now rewrites take time, certainly more than a year, especially when you need to create a universe worth of lore to go with that story. IMO the third DLC is when we will really start to see Destiny take off. They'll have had almost two years to make something cohesive out of the cluster-blam!- that currently exists, that's why everything is so vague, the story has nowhere to go.
Give them time to fix it, or don't it's up to you, but thinkin that activision is going to give you free DLC for boycotting their game is, quite frankly, really -blam!-ing dumb.

That much was shipped to retailers. It was around 350 million, i would find the link but to lazy to.
-
This is the link you're talking about.

But activision still gets its money from the retailers.
