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).
I have no interest in the GTA franchise, personally. I’m more interested in what goes on behind the scenes. The industry is in a bit of a turmoil at the moment and that definitely has my attention.
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.
Nope, but I’d encourage anyone who would have bought it, but are now on the fence due their own moral reasons, to stick with their gut. A piece of entertainment isn’t more important than personal principles, regardless of it’s popularity and how many others may 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.

Well, it has to start somewhere.
From Dragon Age: Veilguard and Suicide Squad to Condord and Redfall. They all underperformed for the same reason. People talked.
Good luck with that with GT fucking A 6…

I’m not the one trying to achieve something like that. That’s all your war.
Then what are you trying to achieve, exactly?
I doubt it, but ok.
