    Nope, but I’d encourage anyone who would have bought it, but are now on the fence due their own moral reasons, to stick with their gut. A piece of entertainment isn’t more important than personal principles, regardless of it’s popularity and how many others may buy it anyway.

      Then you’ll have reached nothing but given a few people a feeling of moral superiorty and saved them a few bucks.

      But it is not effective in the sense that these workers will be able to work in this sector again or will get their job back. A few folks complaining and pledging not to buy the game won’t scare Take2 to rehire the workers or stop unionbusting.

          Then what are you trying to achieve, exactly?

          That’s all your war.

          I doubt it, but ok.

            No.

            How about you tell us what YOU are trying to accomplish with your argument.

              Ok, now that’s just rude.

              I’d like to inform people that they have a belief that’s morally pleasing, but ineffective in helping anyone.

                “Ineffective in helping anyone”

                So basically exactly what you are also doing.

                  I admitted several times that we don’t really have the possibility to change anything here, so I don’t get how this is supposed to be a gotcha.

                  I’m simply not a fan of people lying to themselves.

                  edit: wait a second… who the fuck asked you? O.o
