Streamers will absolutely not care, they will stream the game anyway.
If they don’t, their viewers will just go watch someone who is streaming the game they want to watch.
Gamers were a mistake.
This is what happened with the WB wizard game, right?
Not Call of Duty!
“If you don’t it don’t buy it” and “vote with your wallet” are the battlecries of compliant simpering corporate adherents, intended to deflate organized action against the sacred treat makers.
I’m confused, why would streaming a game count as “crossing the picket line”? streamers aren’t in SAG-AFTRA, so they aren’t beholden to any strike, right?
Usually they ask you to not promote the games or tv shows. See “the expanse” author IAMA on Reddit, they refused to discuss the tv show due to strikes (legends, since half the questions were about it)
I think some “influencers” can join SAG-AFTRA, and there was a provision regarding promoting striked work through online posts/podcasts/etc

wait is ashley quills kinda based?
How would it affect already released games like Starfield?
Modern games that release in a “release ready” state?
More seriously, Bethesda has people in the polishing workshop and also people in the dlc mines. If they strike, the polish and dlc gets delayed which is going to make gamers big mad since the buggy unfinished game which some of them have already bought season passes for is going to take even longer to actually be what it should have been at release.
In a more gamer note, if this delays ES6 the even more rabid segment of BSG fans is going to be rage fapping to Skyrim mods while typing death threats with the other.
Do we know if a full list will be compiled anywhere?
