    Maybe its just me but I’d be way more likely to buy a game if I knew it was made by well treated workers.

      Unfortunately, it’s not many of us. A lot of folks don’t even not buy games that aren’t good, if they’re heavily marketed.

        Gamers™ are like baby birds constantly screaming for mom to vomit the next meal in their mouths. They want an 80 campaign they can marathon through in a week, then demand the Devs get immediately to work on the sequel which the absolutely want NOW NOW NOW

        “Good” is subjective. I know CoD is mangled corporate moneygrab trash, but it’s still really fun, so I play it. The only reason I bought Cyberpunk was because I knew everyone was going to be talking about it and I wanted to be able to be part of the conversation, and it didn’t disappoint.
