[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 month ago (1 child) this is a pretty accurate representation of most current day boycotts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago (3 children) Yup. People can't sacrifice anything these days to make a statement. What is especially frustrating is how quickly these corporations would fold under pressure. Take a principled position for 1 week and watch what happens. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 child) Take a principled position for 1 week and watch what happens. As soon as a timeframe is added, the company will just ignore it, especially something as minor as a week. Boycott should not have an end date, only then would a company start to consider it and maybe try to do something to end it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) Sorry, I didn't mean literally a week and to tell them first.

Once or twice a year something comes out that I really want to use / play. Its the two times per year I "suffer.". The rest is stuff I probably would have tried and played but its now so far off my radar they'll never see a cent again (unless of course there is a major overhaul in whatever co's business model; happy to return with a change). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 month ago I feel this exact way with GTA 6 right now but it got a lot easier for me when I realized how many thousands of potential hours of amazing experiences I already have in my library. I'm starting to feel more fulfilled on going through that backlog than I am on whatever new game everyone is playing. I should have taken this route a long time ago. permalink fedilink source parent
