Are you boycotting RDR2 because of the misrepresented 100 hours 'controversy'?

You're awfully quiet about the results now that your misleading bait and switch poll was fixed.

I’m not “boycotting” it because of OverworkGate. I’m not buying it because:
— It’s yet another open-world game. I’m generally not interested in these, as I get bored with them quickly.
— It requires a fuckton of available hard drive space, including an Internet download of some 40-50GB. That’s a lot to ask for a game, especially with my bandwidth cap.
I couldn’t care less about “crunch” or how Rockstar did or didn’t abuse its employees. It has nothing to do with me. I care about whatever a game is worth my $60, given my tastes and demands— and this one doesn’t fit my profile.

Salt levels are rising...because it didn't work, but we might see stealthy plan B by OP.

No, don't lock. Instead of ban topic, just disagree with OP and make a point.

No. I am not boycotting this game. In fact I am going to honor their sacrifice by trying to play for 100 hours the first week.
And I will double dip with PC later.

Yes I am gonna join my boycotting brothers and sisters as we write these comments on our devices made by children overseas getting paid cents an hour.
As if. All of them are hypocrites who are gonna buy the game anyway, and if not, then their couple sheckels won‘t matter whatsoever and the game will make it‘s budget back and then some on day 1.

I have already bought it. I don’t understand the boycott mentality at all. This game is being made in the USA, nobody is starving or being held ransom or risking their lives. If anybody doesn’t like working there leave; end of story. Boycotts are better served for some of the shitty places where people are made to work like in China or other third world places where people really are taken advantage of with very dangerous work conditions and long work hours for very poor pay. Those people get hurt then tossed away like garbage; that is worth boycotting or getting upset about.

I hate gaming right now with a passion. I wish these people that search high and low for drama in the gaming industry put their effort into something worthwhile like community care projects in their neighbourhood. You know something worthwhile.
I understand that this would mean BOTH leaving the house and going outside so I'm not holding out on much hope.

the boycotters have probably never worked a hard day in their life.... Greatness takes sacrifice and some people dont mind sacrificing for projects they care about.

I am honestly seriously confused by the OP's post... It's as if OP didn't follow up with the original story at all or read the update from the person who was interviewed... He later explained it was just him and a handful of writers who were putting in those kind of hours which is 100% understandable considering the sheer amount of writing that has gone into RDR2 from the game stats they released earlier this week... So no I will not be boycotting a company who A. Consistently puts out some of the best AAA Open world games as well as always pushes the boundries of said game genre with nearly every game they release B. Are always super passionate about the games they make unlike so many other companies now who only care about putting out half baked games and try nickle and diming players via micro transactions or boosts to play the game properly.

Absolutely I'm boycotting it! This is outrageous! I am definitely not buying it! I had no intention to buy it anyway, I honestly don't care about the game or the "boycott". This is silly.
Boycotting it.
I mean, it is not coming out on PC and I can’t buy a console right now, so I’m just claiming outrage instead of saying I am broke.
On a serious note, crunch time is a barbaric, outdated practice that should be abolished, and the whole industry should be unionized or heavily policed to avoid this insanity sooner rather than later. This discussion, however, goes beyond this one game.

Uh this poll is jumping the gun. Barely anyone is doing 100 hour weeks, and it was only 3 weeks out of seven years.

hell no, i'm gonna buy the fuck out of this game
those stat are bullshit, they were just for advertising but it seems it didn't had the impact they wanted
and even if it's real, lets be honest, who gives a fuck ? it's not like they were held at gun point to work a 100 hour a week, i'm sure they have the option to quit

Boycotting this game will definitely be a nice reward for those people who worked their ass off for this game.
You do realize the developers themselves will only see a tiny fraction of the profits for the game, right? After the CEO and all the higher ups get their millions.
If the 60 dollars was split among the developers, then you might have a point.
I don't boycott stuff, but your logic is flawed. By buying the game you are rewarding the company, providing incentive for them to work as they do currently, and not the developers.

no. but im in no hurry to get it. i haven't finished the first game yet, not a huge fan of Rockstar's post-GTA:SA games, will probably buy used. the last Rockstar game i bought was GTA:SA. maybe i'll change my tune when i see it in person.

Are you for real OP? Because this reads more like you want to convince us to boycott the game, even though its made in the same way as every other game.
If you really cared so much, you would make a thread critical of the industry in general. This thread seems atroturfed as fuck.

Sorry if this derails the conversation a little, but I used the following sentence in a previous post here:
As if. All of them are hypocrites who are gonna buy the game anyway, and if not, then their couple sheckels won‘t matter whatsoever and the game will make it‘s budget back and then some on day 1.
I really don‘t wanna sound ignorant, but I truly don‘t know. Is the use of the word sheckels atisemitism?
Cause I just got a week long ban for this exact sentence on that other forum. I just heard the word being used on a youtube stream recently, where the guy was giving thanks for donations by using that word for currency.
