#there is no other industry with as much toxicity in the fanboyism as gaming

[jaythelay]

Honestly I don't know how companies aren't immedietely bending over backwards to avoid the strike and just give into demands.

Literally the only thing keeping us from revolting and telling them to pick their favorite wall is distractions and escapism, how do you think we're in worse times than the french revolt? They were bored. We aren't.

I truely expect the CEO of every entertainment company to actually jump into a vat of acid just to ensure capitalism continues it's late-stage madness without any bumps to come in the future. If it works for media, it might work where so many eyes aren't.

They won't, because they're too stupid to see we already picked them out their favorite wall, and it'll be the last thing they see for delaying my beloved escapism completely needlessly just to avoid treating people like people.

I will add onto this, however, that while the strikes will work in the gaming industry, they've only been asking for the biggest shitkick to the ass since I was a child, the fact is, strikes won't work everywhere else, because The Consumer is on the side of the Company, until the Company makes it impossible for the Employee to create the product.

Gaming? We'll have alot of talking heads pretending everything is fine and that "Gamerz" are the real problem, not knowing they themselves are the very Gamerz they pretend Pro-Consumers to be.

But somewhere like, mcdonalds? Walmart? Car repair? Secretary work? Shit, anything that isn't keys dangling in your face, the large community support simply won't be behind.

Think of it this way, people support (actors) because they played (hundreds of characters) on your favorite tv show, (Tv show).

Bob working the register didn't work on my favorite IP, so I'm not nearly as interested.
