So this idea that capitalism is some fatalistic force which can't be influenced seems odd. 

If 100 people boycotted the game (a very tiny number), that would cost more to the company than if they just paid her the difference properly to say $6,000, for example.

If the company treats other VA's this way, and they affirm their treatment, that number definitely could rise. 

If capitalist firms respond to anything, it is their sales numbers. 

Now of course, Bayonetta 3 is probably going to outsell Bayonetta 2 and 1 given the Switch effect. And there will be no way for Platinum to know if they lost sales or not in that scenario, but if the pattern persists then it could be a big problem for the company.

That's why Kamiya has responded to her claims with denial rather than saying "yes, we offered her what we thought she was worth." If boycotts didn't work, then general strikes wouldn't be as effective as they are.
