When it comes to video games, idgaf if someone wants to give a game dev thousands of their own dollars because they want to pay an idiot tax.

It's a free market, and we're all free to just not play the fucking game. Actually that's the default so just doing nothing is plenty.

I get what you're saying but we're not talking about groceries here, we're talking about something that could literally cease to exist and aside from some folks maybe being out of work nobody would even notice or care. I do agree though that strong regulation is much better than expecting consumers to stop consuming something as long as it's a necessary thing or something with quite inelastic demand (ie: medicine).

Yeah, i don't disagree with a thing ya wrote. I'm not claiming that people shouldn't care; just that it's better to push for regulatory change rather than trying to affect change thru collective consumer action/raising awareness.
