At the end of the day, people actually making a concious decision to not support a company by simply not buying its product is the best you can hope for.
You can’t expect some random kid in another country to start looking into American Unions in fields that won’t ever apply to them.
I didn’t say “join a gameworker’s union”. Joining a union is a good idea, no matter where you are and what you work as.
Not consuming a product is simply that: inaction. And the publisher won’t even notice it, if it’s not connected to a publicity campaign (like e.g. BDS)
Well, isn’t that what we’re doing here? The entire point is to communicate you stance to others. And there’s quite a few AAA titles that have suffered simply because the customer base actually can communicate.

What you’re doing here is not a coordinated effort.

Lol. Whut? I can point to no example like that and ample examples where these kinds of “boycots” did squat (like e.g. with the original Modern Warfare 2 not having a server browser).
oh awesome thanks. I can give you my name and address if you want to go ahead and donate in my name. also I am broke as fuck so you can do that for me too.
and let me know when you want me to start organizing stuff in my neighborhood with the time i don’t have. you’ll have to come and take over my responsibilities too.
Well, just a game I’m not gonna buy then. Simple.
Not gonna solve the union busting. Individual boycotts (without a campaign behind them) don’t work.
Not much else I can do.
And Prunebutt shouldn’t be discouraging it. Voting with your wallet is the way to go and it’s the only thing any of us can do.
It’s also ineffective as fuck…
Doesn’t matter.
