They would shrug and not "get it" - nor worry about it. Most online gamers are 12-20 year old males. They either don't have any voting clout (due to age or lack thereof) or they don't bother with voting if they're old enough. As for "voting with their wallets" - if the whole scenario changes, that's of no value either. Now the big players in this SHOULD be the companies which produce those games. THEY are the ones who stand to lose the most (billions....), therefore it makes sense that they SHOULD be concerned. Are they? I don't know. While I play CRPGs, I only do the single player ones, I've NEVER been interested in "shared gaming" - my imagination is fulfilled without need to mess with online gamers most of whom are half the age of my DAUGHTER.
