Over 200 employees from Rockstar North have signed a letter to management, in which they have condemned the firing of fellow staff members.

      Well, isn’t that what we’re doing here? The entire point is to communicate you stance to others.

      What you’re doing here is not a coordinated effort.

      And there’s quite a few AAA titles that have suffered simply because the customer base actually can communicate.

      Lol. Whut? I can point to no example like that and ample examples where these kinds of “boycots” did squat (like e.g. with the original Modern Warfare 2 not having a server browser).

              Your lack of interest hasn’t stopped the franchise being like the second biggest video game franchise. I’m afraid that this won’t notably hurt their sales. Especially since you probably weren’t gonna buy it anyway.

                  Then you’ll have reached nothing but given a few people a feeling of moral superiorty and saved them a few bucks.

                  But it is not effective in the sense that these workers will be able to work in this sector again or will get their job back. A few folks complaining and pledging not to buy the game won’t scare Take2 to rehire the workers or stop unionbusting.
