| UnderwaterFunktown said: The defeatist attitude is strong in here. Is it really more satisfying to say "it won't work" rather than giving it a shot? Obviously won't be this petition alone that makes the difference, but fans have made a difference before. If we just accept something that dissatisfies us then we have no control whatsoever. You can vote with your wallet or sign petitions or voice your opinion and maybe it won't work but there's still a point in doing it rather than just saying "oh well guess it's out of my hands". (of course if you legitimately don't care that's entirely fair.) |
I don't think companies have much incentive to heed any petitions. Public outrage might work, because it's a bad look, but a petition is just too easy to ignore. In Sony's eyes, it's probably not that different from market research they've probably done in advance of this decision. I think a petition might work when the party it's addressed to is somewhat open to feedback, but Sony has certainly made its mind and isn't really open to feedback.
