Amid deteriorating relations between the US and Canada, many Canadian video game developers are opting not to travel to San Francisco for next week’s Game Developers Conference.

Smart, don't want to end up in chains in a concrete cell with 24/7 lighting in the land of the free.

Aren't there a bunch of other big events planned in the US? IIRC the football world cup is planned to happen there. I cannot imagine that going well if the [email protected] and [email protected] movements continue.

Russia only had minor boycotts when they hosted. Qatar used slave labor and again had only minor boycotts. I don’t think the boycotts of the World Cup will be huge, however, every little helps.

This is different though. People aren't boycotting the world cup but the entire country. I invite you to look at the communities I posted. They have nothing to do with the world cup.

Is it wrong that I'd be much happier if everyone did boycott the World Cup? I live in the city hosting it and I don't want to deal with the traffic. Also, fuck Trump.

Football fans tend to not care about jack shit. You could see the world literally burning and they'll say "b-but the game..."

I mean this is happening right now so if I were Canadian I would take a real serious think about whether I want to mess with the US borders: https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/post/26899697
