/gamergate/ - It's Back

I forgot to mention, I will be allowing boycott threads. That doesn't mean I encourage or discourage anything, but I believe this discussion is important and should be allowed.

Not even if all of Gamergate started boycotting something would it really fucking matter.

You want to know why publishers are afraid when SJWs threaten boycotts?

You can't possibly think it's because only WE'VE figured out SJWs don't play games and aren't actually a fucking source of income.

Because journos are SJWs. Journos will join in with the SJWs and report information about how sexist or transphobic or what the fuck ever something is in articles

Said articles will reach normies.

Normies will think well if ALL these sites say this is sexist then it's sexist. wouldn't want to purchase sexist/racist/transphobic things would I.

TLDR:Your boycott has no power. There is no punch in your bullet. There's not even the gunpowder required to ignite the rest of Gamergate towards your cause.

It's all just fucking stupid and pointless. Hell,it'l be one heckuva ammo when a game you boycott sells well.

GG has no power they will chant.

Thank fuck. I know a lot of people who were in this for taking on the anti-consumer practices as well as the media, who've since been shit on by all those suckered by shillclover and their cronies.

well, what we can and DID acheive is the reverse effect, with the Afterlife Empire, beach body, playasia, Hatred, HunniePop. When there is a SJW outrage we show up, spread it around and the buzz created increase and visibility.

We don't win by shitting on SJW aproved companies and threaten boycotts, we win by buying the stuff we like and promoting companies that do gamers good.

it might not stop bad games, but it sure can help create good ones.

All those examples are

1)positive

2)born of a galvanization

You need an event to make people care. No one will follow you if you just decide one day ah okay GG let's boycott now

It's why you guys have been laughed away whenever you came with the idea.

Do you even know what a consumer boycott is you uninformed misinfo faggot?

>>508507

consumer revolt or consumer boycott?

revolt =/= boycott

a revolt is a rebellion against the status quo, while a boycott is a way to either pressure an entity into changing to what you deem acceptable, or with the goal of removing said entity.

the revolt can be done in many ways, it can be by creating new mediums to replace the old guard, create OC and info sheets, can be exposing the underpinning of the opposition like their links to faux academia and corrupt journo. Picking apart their narrative and force a counter like NYS. you can even create games, Youtubers are also a current threat to Game Journo.

you will not find a universal response to why and what need to be boycotted, nor will you garner the leverage needed to pull it off. One will want to boycott any game remotely progressive, others will want to boycotts games when the company is doing shady stuff like day 1 or on disc DLC, others will want to boycotts any company affiliated with progressives even if the game is good. etc

who's the uninformed little bitch now?

WHY YOU SHOULD TELL BOYCOTT FAGS TO GTFO:

EA, Capcom, Activision, Blizzard, Valve, etc, they don't want your money.

If they wanted your money, they would cater to you, and stop doing the retarded shit you hate, like making broken games on release, adding memes, censorship, and jewing you with shit like season pass, DLC, and low-quality content.

However, they DO want money. Since the "80/20 consumer rule" is true, those companies will keep spewing the same shit, to the same retards buying their games, and make most of their sales by catering to the normalfags.

YOU WERE NEVER THEIR TARGET, IT DOESN'T MATTER OF YOU MAKE A BOYCOTT OR NOT.

However, what you can do, is reminding the normalfags why they shouldn't support certain companies. Make infographs, redpill people, remind them every day why Activision sucks, why EA sucks, why Bethesda sucks, and why their favorite franchise is shit. Because in the end, your copy of the game was never considered, but the normalfag copy of the game? The full-prized, deluxe edition pre-sale? That's the one that matters, the one you weren't going to buy.
