I side with Mixel here to 100%. Charity is good, just play another game to do it.
In my eyes, the whole response from Rare felt like that one South Park episode, where the CEO dude only says "We are sorry" over and over again after a catastrophic oil leak.
Today, I decided to touch some grass for most of the day and figured, what the hell, lets see how many people are in protest of the "nothing burger" that was posted and see how many people were streaming Sea of Thieves.
To my surprise, some of the most "outraged" people, that were in "complete protest" are, in fact, streaming the game. I'm confused.
We are for once all united in protest, wanting some reform/change with how things are handled for the future and for certain people to be held accountable for the vile thing that happened in our beloved Sea of Thieves.
By streaming the game, you weaken the leverage of the collective group (the community) efforts allowing Rare to continue operations and ultimately undermine what this could of achieved.
Because you would rather have some good metrics for your Twitch, there is an increased likelihood that nothing will change. You are showing them (Rare), they have all the bargaining chips and power. That no matter what happens, you will still play/stream their game.
"But Mix? The Charity Efforts!?"
Choose to support whichever charity you believe in, but seriously, do it in a different game there are thousands to choose from.
Even if its just for one day. I think we can all avoid playing Sea of Thieves for a bit.
