There are better free-speech hills to die on. Unless gamers start organising themselves civically, this issue has too many weaknesses to base on.

And that attitude is why the Left has gotten so weak. The Right died on the hill of some emails and a laptop. Maybe we should start with some smaller battles first.
Conspiracy and cover-up by the leader of the opposition is a great hill to die on. It comes with a built-in constituency who will actually show up.
The problem the American left has had is it keeps picking niche issues that appeal to folks who only show up in deep-blue cities.
