What is more effective? Boycotting the company or boycotting the product?

Of those two options, the former.

But, do you want to know what's an even better solution?
Spend your money on a good product, from a good company, tell other people about that great product, and about that great company, and then proceed to not worry about it.

Nah, you just need to make a better product yourself to make a movement. Look at CDPR. They raised public standards by a lot.

Let's be clear: "vote with your wallet" has always been a cucked concept. It removes any restraints of decency or morality from corporations. It makes them instead the responsibility of the consumer. Which, at some point, might have been something resembling effective, but in the existant atomized de-communitied state of modernity, puts every individual person against the machinery of industry and lets them feel the howling emptiness where there should be the support of community, and so isolated they are crushed or alienated and marginalized one by one. You might as well place a sheet of plywood across your lawn and tell the grass it's their responsibility to make it move.

Is the company a repeat offender like EA, Ubi, etc? Really you shouldn't be buying anything from companies this shitty in the first place. You shouldn't even want to. Getting upset and refusing to buy a single game can work in some cases, but that's assuming the situation isn't totally fucked from the start and you can get enough people to get upset. That Etrian Odyssey game that had all that DLC comes to mind as an example.

CDPR also did well because there are a lot of people who think the AAA stuff is shit, but they settle for it if there are no alternatives. The more people who dislike AAA bullshit like EA and Ubi, the easier it is for a new CDPR to come along and make something great.

By all means, spend your money how you choose. But you need an organized majority for a boycott to be effective. You have neither organization nor majority. All you're doing is not buying something you don't like. I don't claim to be boycotting Arby's every time I drive past to a different restaurant.

National Socialism, tbqhwyf.

Anarcho-capitalism.

Thats not capitalism at all

You have a talent for writing, and I think you should do something with it.

Exactly :^)

Have there been any other National Socialistic countries before or after the Nazis?

The Founding Fathers were proto-fascists in basically every way.

National Socialist? No. However there are many examples of Nationalism of other economic systems. Japan can be considered a moderm example of pseudo-ethno Nationalism that practices East Asian Model Capitalism (I say pseudo because although Japs hate foreigners there are still niggers in Tokyo but they're all mixed)

“Vote with your wallet” is just more libertarian “hands off”, “live and let live” bullshit. It explicitly allows marxists and their ilk to take over ANY facet of society in which it is practiced.

What's the answer then? Mass murder and explosives? Plunging a knife in the CEO's pillow with a note plainly explaining why you're dissatisfied?

You're confusing Classical Liberalism with neoliberalism. The Founding Fathers were Classical Liberals. Neoliberalism is closer to fascism. Classical Liberalism can be described as the closest named ideology to centrism

There's a reason why people are bending themselves backwards for mudslimes. If we bombed a few studios in Commiefornia, you can expect those fucks to stop making video games.

Are you fucking retarded OP.

Marxists and other Socialists don't have wallets. Or money. Or houses. Or food.

As civil as this thread is, should we just have a "state of the industry/ how to fix the industry" general to contain it already? All the politics and economics can be talked about in one big thread and then we can have everything else be vidya.

So just buy everything then?

Holla Forums already has a perpetual thread on Holla Forums, which they long since grew bored of. That's why le natsoc turns up in at least 1/4 of the threads on Holla Forums now.

Or!
Or!
Or…we destroy globalism and kick our "xenophobia" up a notch. After all, the xenophobic nature of the Nips is working out well for them.
Although, they do have their downsides.

You mean like here:

>>>/gamergatehq/

You mean the GG thread?

Well if the GG thread is supposed to be the designated board politics thread they do a shit job of it. Why not make it an official fucking rule if it's supposed to be the containment thread?

Well two of those are just because of western influence after WWII and possibly the shogunate before that. Wouldn't be hard to fix.

You really sound like a Communist complaining about Globalism. Internationalism is the enemy, not Globalism. Globalism is what allows people from across the world to communicate and spread ideas, it allows cheap goods to be manufactured and provides countless savages with jobs that will help reform them, Internationalism is what destroys ideas and endlessly mixes people into one great big slave race.

You sound like a neoliberal.
Stop.

...

Okay you Commie fuck, keep listening to the International all 24 hours of your pitiful day. Keep hoping your revolution won't end in a massacre on your side, famine, or a Great Leap Forward into wealth, prosperity and Goodliness of Global Capitalism and out of the hole of depravity, suffering and destruction that is Socialism.

You will be hanged right alongside all your kike brothers. You have no comprehension of the meaning of the words you are using.

The product the first few times until the agenda is clear, then the company. The ceo is usually profit centered and should have noted poor sales and changed course after. If they fail to adapt, it is on them.

I do wholeheartedly. All Socialists are the same, all believe in death as Socialism is the Church of Death, as old as mankind. You'd have us go back to stone-age living, bashing rocks against one another's heads in some Darwinistic wet dream. Every Nazi, Commie, Anarchist, Communalist, Hippie, Social Democrat, Marxist and so on is the enemy. Thankfully, they're much like their stone-age heroes in that they're all poor, ugly and utterly stupid.

You've done it now.

It isn't just enough to vote with your wallet since you have EA shilling and giving out game for free if you're dissatisfied or want a refund on origin. You have to devalue their brand by way of unrelenting shitposting and word of mouth. You will never have people streaming it for the sake of the emotional driven game but on its technical failure, poor writing by SJW's who like firefly and its reputation as a bad game.
Even if the game is success on paper the brand will never be able to capitalize on the mass effect name and now EA will have to invest money on a new series to milk rather than spend as little as possible on an existing brand. If EA is to learn a lesson from this it will to be to polish their turd or what I think they'll more likely do is to stop giving out review copies to review sites and streamers.

More importantly, do you have sauce on that image?

Boycott the medium, the sooner the industry crashes the better.

No results on saucenao by the way.

...

oh no

exhentai.org/g/1044199/19a33fcf29/
Fuck you, Disney, for giving the star wars license to EA. Just when I though maybe lose some money you have to go and give them something that prints money.

Recreational McNukes

It's CY2

...

fucker

Reminder that only halfchan cancer reply to posts like this, and if you are going to bump another shitty thread for days on end at least sage your post ffs.

I guess this is the a different way of asking OP's question but anyway.
let's say EA makes an actually good game or Good "in your opinion". You know you like the game from playing it at the store, or a friends house, or pirating it whatever.

Like Titanfall 2 for example. I haven't played it but I heard decent things about it and they put no DLC at all I think.
Is it OK to make that purchase since it's a product you want or should you just never financially support EA ever on the princable that they are a shit company.

I'd guess devs, because the publisher is only a money making machine, but devs have weird artistic and political motivations, in the long run the publisher only hires devs who make money

Aw.

Thank you for the source, however.

Please no post such memes.

everytime

Depends on the reason why you're boycotting. If you're only boycotting the EA games with "progressive" agendas (Andromeda, Battlefront 2), then you probably would buy Titanfall 2. If you're problem is the developer, not the publisher (What is what this user is saying: ), same result. If you're boycotting EA themselves, then no, you would not pick up Titanfall 2. In addition, there's also how you're going to buy the game. Are you going to buy it digitally (Where the store own takes a 30% cut on all transactions), or will you buy it physically (Where the company has to pay X amount of dollars to keep the game widely enough available). Also, you have to determine which system you will by the game (Which is why some games go exclusive willingly).

You really have to do your research and know what it is that you stand for, otherwise your boycott becomes a joke (Like those hipsters tweeting "Resist capitalism" in their iPhone, while wearing a brand name shirt, and drinking their caramel macchiato from Starbucks).

I'd like nothing more than for EA to have to bury ME after the Andromeda disaster

We send them a McNuke like a true libertarian should..

just in case

Bombs.

Sure it isn't user ;^)

...

Fuck you.

Neither. Just come to terms with the fact that you're buying a product from a soulless company instead of supporting real people with real dreams and aspirations.
I really don't understand why people go full fanboy on companies, it's entertainment, you aren't required to enjoy or want all their products, especially not if the company has a "let's say if the goiym will buy Super Power Game Mobile while it's in beta and that will decide whether or not we make a Super Power Game 3" policy like it happened with Command and Conquer 4 and Other M.

I mean, unless they're indie or extremely small studios, your money doesn't even go directly to the people behind the game.

should boycott the timeline we'r in

just boycott life tbh

/thread

Both.

Capitalism in Asia, because unlike whites, Asians can't get subverted with retarded shit so familiy and tradition always prevail.
They needed a softcore version of Judaism to teach them, only in 4th commandment that Family is important, couldn't figure that out on their own, that's why destroying Christianity in the west is so beneficial as it takes out every other element of their culture.

White-skinned animals that resemble humans are too dumb to figure that out so instead of using capitalism as means to further the well being of your family they have capitalism as a goal where you basically just get money to get more money in order to get paid more and buy useless shit 7S.

Ancap as means and not end is good.

Stop attributing to ideology what is entirely due to to technology. The people who made the internet and its precursors did so as a military communication network, not a cokeacola let's all hold hands toy, you ninny.

Are you retarded? Did you miss the last eighty years of chinese history?

Shame they weren't firebombed.

Butthurt hapa spotted.

The correct term is East Asian Model Capitalism. Practiced by modern-day China as well as Japan and South Korea

The Chinese were never subverted into Communism. They were forced into it like the USSR, and like the USSR everyone was miserable. Propagandists made it seem like those past 80 years were smooth sailing, they weren't. Look at Chinas GDP history. They were a very poor country before capitalist reform of the 1980s

the modern day is very community driven. youre just not a part of it

I'm Jewish though.

South Korea is actually westernized which led to polarization where you have extreme hedonistic consumptionism on top of radical feminism with some still retaining family values.

Mark?
The model of capitalism it practices is that of the East Asian model regardless. The government invests in the private sector to bolster the public sectors through nationalized companies

Boycotting the company

FUCK OF GGREVOLT

Christianity is illegal in China, lugnuts.

China isn't a white european country, dingus.

Meant for

Well, fuck.

ancap doesn't work commie

Ancap works, but it becomes replaced the moment you advance to exchange more complex than with your neighbor, since barter is difficult, while money is convenient and simple.
Ancap means there is no state, but there is still exchange of goods, for example I will turn the deer you hunted into sausages and steaks but I'll take some of it as a payment

Boycotting isn't enough, you need to bully the people who do buy it.

Fuck

burger off
