As previously requested, we're trying out a regular, automated discussion thread! Use this space to talk about things that don't fit the ordinary subject matter of the space, or for discussions that don't necessitate a full post! All rules besides the relevancy rule still apply!

For these first ones, please let us know what you think about it! Personally, I'm not sure how popular this practice will be, so I don't really know about the frequency at which they should be generated, so we're just gonna feel it out and figure it out, together. Any suggestions about how to run it, moving forward, are welcome!

The fired Rockstar devs themselves you know the ones suing the company for union busting have said not to boycott GTA 6.Their whole message is to win justice for the people who helped make it and to not punish the people who made it by tanking sales.

If you actually want to help the devs instead of virtue signaling like a neo liberal playing the “let’s vote with our wallet” then the leverage isnt the act of not buying a game it’s to support their unions.

If you really wanted to help the devs you should’ve bought a tshirt from the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain and posted about it way sooner (you know since pre orders are closed now for the t shirts) because the proceeds went straight to the fired workers legal fund. Thats REAL material support instead of a symbolic gesture that costs Rockstar nothing and you just do to make yourself feel good and try to signal that you’re somehow a better socialist.

Edit: I would also like to mention that being a wokescold is hardly productive and just enforces the stereotype that leftists are people who hate fun
