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?

refers to violent games as "spiritual cyanide" in a video interview.
Can you do me a favor and keep your spiritual religious **** out of my face!? I am (at least I hope I am) a relatively nice guy who'll do things like hold a door open for people behind me, pull things out of the street if they stay there, and help people if I notice they need it.
I play video games, violent and non-violent, and I still get tired of this "Spiritual" stuff various religious zealots try and force down my throat. Let me do what I want, provided I don't break the law, and don't become a general ***hat. I don't need a reason to be good-willed, I just do it because it is something that I've come to expect from others.
