People keep saying “organize, organize” but what does “organizing” mean exactly?

To me, that's more agitprop.

We need actual activism.

We need actual activism.

Yeah, as much as I hate GamerGate, at least it showed that gamers DO have the ability to make a difference. We need to start our own GamerGate except one that actually does something like combating lootboxes and predatory monetization, fighting unfavorable working conditions, holding the likes of 343 industries accountable, fighting monopolies, democratization of game studios, I could go on.

The best ones I can think of are:

getting 343 to depart from the god-awful Halo 4 and 5 and even delay Infinite.
causing Belgium to ban lootboxes;
increasing support for unionization;

I am honestly sad the potential we gamers have to organize is wasted on shit like GamerGate and SweetBabyInc.
