fired rockstar workers say don't boycott gta 6, buy a shirt to help their legal fight instead

Don't boycott Grand Theft Auto 6, say workers fired by Rockstar - buy a T-shirt to help fund the legal battle instead

Caught the Eurogamer piece about the Rockstar layoffs from last autumn. The workers who got let go, the ones calling it union busting, are now saying please don't boycott GTA 6. I did not expect that.

Instead of a boycott they're asking people to buy a t-shirt. The money goes toward their legal costs for the fight against Rockstar. They're not trying to tank the launch. They just want help with legal fees.

I remember when the layoffs happened there was a lot of talk about whether to skip the game or cancel preorders. Some folks were pretty heated. But if the workers themselves are saying don't do that, it changes things. They still want the game to come out and do well, they just want their side of the dispute funded.

Legal battles drag on and fees pile up fast. A shirt is a small way to chip in without giving up the game I've been waiting years for. I'm still planning to play on November 19, preorder's been in since June. Might grab a shirt too.

What do you all think, is buying a shirt enough or does it feel like a cop out?
