ZippyDSMlee: Boyycotting only works when sheeple care, the masses have to want to care about subtleties, in general they do not thus why corporate gets as far as it does. However boycotting can raise a fuss and the bad PR might make them take note.

AM: @GP: Boycott is unlikely to be effective due to how few people would be aware/participate. That said, I boycott EA over their "3 installs then buy another copy" copy protection, so I can't say it's NOT a good idea.

GryphonOsiris: @Scribe, just read that. The reports are saying that is was a targeted killing. Odds are a bully, gang related or something.

gamepolitics: is a gamer boycott of atari, codemasters, topware and the other 2 UK firms who are extorting file-sharers a good idea?

scribe999: Another school shooting...this time in Tennessee. Terrible news. And I'm sure there's much hyperbole to follow.

Judge: Which video game are you talking about specifically?
Uh, the one in which you rob banks I guess?
Judge: You guys just happened to have a couple of ski masks, trash bags, and firearms with you?
Yeah, talk about coinidinck, huh?
Judge: You guys also reportedly knocked over three other banks within the last few months as well?
Yeah, those video games just keep messing with my head. It seems like everytime I pass a bank I gotta run in and ask for some money.
Judge: This doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you reportedly owe a local mob boss over a hundred thousand dollars as well?
Oh yeah, that motivated me to do it but just a little bit. It was mainly the video games though.
(Whispers to lawyer)
Oh yeah, my attorney would like me to say that he's been on TV so you better not rule against him otherwise he might have to expose the huge payments you've recieved in secret from the video games industry.
