The smart move would be to do it immediately after release date drops.

Give them an hour or two to grab all the headlines, then announce a strike and overwrite all the headlines and steal all the buzz.

Tie any eventual delay to that initial delay caused by their treatment of employees.

With how slow these games come out, this is a once in a decade opportunity, possibly once in a generation.

Agreed. The timing is everything here. Too early and they miss the hype train, but too late and they lose their leverage.

They spelled “Should” wrong.

If they wait, they risk losing any chance of actually negotiating fairly. Assuming they are successful of course.

Good. Unions should be a more standard practice, especially these days. Fuck these big companies.

But the ads on the subway say Union dues take up half my paycheck??

I stand with them.

At this point I think we should just boycott the game for the utter utter greed it had shown to this fan base.
