[Reminder] Why we do not boycott games and/or game companies (X-posted to Voat/GamerGate and Reddit Kia) This is partly a response to 8chan threats about boycotting EA and Star Wars Battlefront I wanted to put a reminder out there, as to why we don't officially/formally advocate boycotting developers, development studios and/or game publishers. Sargon, (Milo), D'aww, Daniel vavra, Alexio or alexiho (I can't remember his name, but the guy ghazi tried to dox which caused the mod in question to step down), the guy who helped develop deus ex where they wrote about mechanical apartheid, xbro, a great deal of others since #Solution6Months, and the GG'ers who joined that are indie devs themselves because they are tired of the indie clique. Some more: http://www.gamergatewiki.com/index.php/Support_List#Developers At the bottom of this page: http://alternatives.gamergate.community/ According to game devs who has spoken out(like xbro), there are a lot more game devs in the industry that support us, than devs who don't. First of all, the most important reason is that it's illegal to group boycott competitors in some countries, specifically the US where most of it's supporters are from, if some lawyers could expand on this subject it would be great. To do boycotts we'd have to make sure we aren't breaking laws, in all countries, as GG is global, that's way too much work in contrast to the counter proposal further down in this post.

So what CAN we do? We as a group can officially and part of OP's spread infographics (we just have to verify our facts) and we as individuals can spread suggestions/ideas on how to boycott. If it does not convince somebody to boycott through information, suggestions and ideas that we would use as reasons to boycott in an official boycott OP, the same information, suggestions and ideas in an actual boycott OP won't do that either.
