That's why she turned it down. You want me to not buy something because a grown woman turned down a poor offer? Get the hell outta here. I've seen dudes examine the entire Activision Blizzard situation and still decide to buy, play and cover their games. But this is where you draw the line? Holy hell. |
Eh, having labor-solidarity seems like a better reason to boycott a game than consumer-friendliness trends, in my opinion. Video games are luxury goods, something a person doesn't need to have to live a decent life. If the video game industry becomes marginally consumer unfriendly, nobody is going to starve from it. If I couldn't afford video games I'd partake in the dozen other hobbies I have.
Comparitively, a person needs to work to live and to get a decent pay check to live a good life in most societies.
If labor-solidarity is "virtue signaling" then virtue signaling is often a good thing, and is as old as wealth stratification itself (roughly 8000 years old, with the first agricultural revolution give or take.)
