I'm not giving them a red cent. They can be anti-democratic on someone else's dime.

- ekianjo 7y agoYou not giving them money wont hit their bottomline. However, you blaming them online and amplifying other people doing so is more likely to make them feel bad about it.
- Beltiras 7y agoI'm also doing that. I know lots of people using their games. Liberal folks that will mind this.
- mrkstu 7y agoThis one cuts across partisan lines- and in fact conservatives/libertarians are more likely to be affected by corporate censorship nowadays, and more than happy to push back on obvious over-reach/kowtowing like this.
- maximente 7y agoi wish people would stop trotting out this cynical nonsense: it's the same tired argument that people use about why they don't vote (because "it doesn't matter"). it does matter. it might not matter very much, but it does matter. it changes the amount of money the company receives. that cannot be argued against. more importantly, it also empowers others who may be open to the idea to do the same. it can spread the idea that "hey, yeah, i don't need to patronize this company". if enough people do this, change can be enacted. see loot boxes, or consuming less junk, or ..... if however this cynicism causes people to stay home on election day, or do nothing in their lives bc everything is inevitably status quo, or keep patronizing companies like this, then nothing will ever change. so please keep this factual inaccuracy out of discussions like these: it's not productive and demonstrably false, and arguably harmful to contributing to "wokeness" generally.
