A boycott or strike is different though. You don't know how long it'll last, and you don't know what the end result will be, you may get a raise, you may get your benefits, or you may not. What EGM is doing is waiting until next month to review it. I don't understand how that's anywhere close to a boycott, rather than just keeping the integrity of their magazine together, and vying for unneccessary attention. (not that I don't respect them for that, keep journalistic integrity intact, just don't make a huge deal about it. They didn't have to mention anything, except say the review would be next month. Doing the whole roundtable thing, and the comment about Konami's muting of what could be talked about was only to exacerbate the problem, and to bring this into the spotlight for some publicity.) |
From Mirriam-Webster online:
: to engage in a concerted refusal to have dealings with (as a person, store, or organization) usually to express disapproval or to force acceptance of certain conditions
Okay, so it isn't a boycott, more like a protest.
