I've got 2 won games with players "on vacation" for a while and it seems they don't wanna move. Pathetic cowards. What do you think Bobby Fisher would do in these games?

Darth, I know the problem, better is to forget the games for a while, as they would be already finish. This behaviour is highly unethical, and probably chess.com should have a possibility to intervene when people abuse the vacation trick. And don't forget to block the people.

I believe Bobby Fisher would leave chess.com until they fix that trick.

If players are truly using vacation to prolong completely lost games, then you can open a ticket and staff may adjudicate the game.

Otherwise, vacation is finite and they will eventually move or run out of vacation time.
Bobby Fischer would set up premoves for every possible line until checkmate, just to humiliate the cheeky bastards, and then send them a "gg, well played" afterwards. Such his style.

Bobby would don his sombrero, throw down a tepache, and say, "Ya gotta have patience, amigo".

Bobby Fischer would write a thread whining about that, just like you OP, but blaming Jews, Soviets and Americans. Then he would stop playing correspondence in this site until the owner offered him a million or two for a match against his old rival, the vacation guy. In the first game of the match, we would see another example of vacation abuse, and Fischer would write an incendiary thread about that. Everybody would think: "Good ol' Bobby's back, with his whining skills intact" just to be disappointed afterwards. Bobby's threads would become repetitive and boring, with an outdated style, and many would sigh in relief knowing he would not write any more after the match.
They'll run out of vacation time eventually. Just sit tight.

He would probably have 50+ simultaneous games and not be bothered about a handful of players who are on vacation.

This is... a pretty solid hypothesis.
