I'm talking about making a stand where you have an alternative. If I can buy an import from Walmart or a domestic product from Target, the latter will win. A. domestic >>> import B. Target has better corporate policies than Walmart (plus they are a local company for me, as they are based about three blocks from my house). But local hardware store owned by neighbor>>>>>Target. And so on. And sometimes it means not buying what you want. I'd like to play Shadow Complex. But I won't. I have plenty of other options. I also skipped Advent Rising, written by Card, and I know I would've liked that game as well. But again, the point is not about making others follow my lead in this case, but for others to make their opinions heard and to act by using their wallet wisely - both supporting and not supporting.
It's worth missing a couple material items and an extra couple bucks a month for doing something you believe in. |
Target > Walmart? Perhaps you've taken some drugs... Walmart gets singled out because it's so f'n massive, but Target has many ethic violations. Then there is the problem that Walmart is a US owned company and Target is a foreign company and you run into problems... better to buy from K-Mart who has a decent mix of both. I understand that you have strong feelings about Card... he sounds like an ass, but it's kind of like Yaoi in great fanfiction... just because Kakashi is putting it to Iruka doesn't mean I shouldn't give the story a chance even if slash fics are disturbingly written by young girls mostly... I think the point we need to get to is that you need to forget about Card and buy games that are good... support the dev because most of your money is going to those guys who work hard to make this game and to Card who while may have questionable, though valid, opinions is someone who has a strong creative force with in him.
