As time passed, global tensions grew increasingly intense. With a little nudge from the manipulators behind the scenes, protests erupted in several countries. People began taking to the streets, calling for boycotts of all products from Astral Corp and businesses associated with New Atlantis.
This movement quickly became a trend, with virtue signaling sweeping across many nations. Even within countries under the sphere of influence of the Order of Ember, a few individuals sought to boost their own egos by staging protests. Videos of them burning and destroying Astral Corp products flooded the internet as they proudly declared their defiance against what they labeled as a "corporate tyrant."
