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

Not gonna solve the union busting. Individual boycotts (without a campaign behind them) don’t work.

And Prunebutt shouldn’t be discouraging it. Voting with your wallet is the way to go and it’s the only thing any of us can do.

Edit: You asked how to help and I answered. Were did I state that it’s a moral imperative to help if you’re unable to?

Doesn’t matter.

At the end of the day, people actually making a concious decision to not support a company by simply not buying its product is the best you can hope for.

You can’t expect some random kid in another country to start looking into American Unions in fields that won’t ever apply to them.

I didn’t say “join a gameworker’s union”. Joining a union is a good idea, no matter where you are and what you work as.

Not consuming a product is simply that: inaction. And the publisher won’t even notice it, if it’s not connected to a publicity campaign (like e.g. BDS)

Well, isn’t that what we’re doing here? The entire point is to communicate you stance to others. And there’s quite a few AAA titles that have suffered simply because the customer base actually can communicate.

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).

That’s like a one person with an Excel sheet of work you just describe.
I can hire you at $Sales/150+you current [IWGB] unionists. How does that read?

Not UK barred yet.

It’s nowhere near that simple. Not even close. Even forming a limited company or LLP is more than “an Excel sheet” and that’s before you even start the due diligence process. Unless you wanna go the sole trader route, in which case good luck with the whole “unlimited personal liability” thing.

I’m not in the UK either though.

Then just say “Wish you unionists best wishes. I feel at a loss on what to help with.”

I already said what they need to do from the start with my experience as a syndicalist. Heeding my expertise is another matter.

You can volunteer to their cause if you so gladly actually want to contribute.

We are only asking everyone that wanted to see actual solidarity to actually get involved in intersecting.
