I'm warming to this idea. Perhaps 8 hours between 9am and 5pm?If we can make it a 12 hour protest then I can promise to not play for the same twelve hour block every day and that should be easy for everyone else to fit around?
I suspect some UK players may support my hours, not sure on the global option though...
Elite dangerous protest day
- Thread starter Alezander Corben
- Start date
Pointless. News will arrive on fdev's schedule.
Good luck with that.
But you have my support, as I haven't played since the last bounty hunting CG. So Frontier, if you're listening and the OP gets his blockade, all you have to do to break the blockade is fire up another combat-focused community goal, and I'll be there!

Heehee. Reminds me of the "Doctor Who day of protest" in 1990 where fans were meant to jam the switchboard of the BBC to complain about the show being cancelled. I think about 10 people bothered.
Without taking into account that the proposal from OP is highly unfeasible (it's impossible for people to agree on something these days), why do some of you feel the need to mocking them? at the end of the day, even if you didn't care, you would also benefit from it. Or is it like "oh no, dev transparency and news would kill my game experience!11!! doom"?
That's a good idea. Three 8 hour shifts and split by timezone (or player preference, I guess). That should cover it quite well. I reckon we may be able to protest for weeks with good organisation!

They'll be fine - most of the count comes from people leaving the launcher running anyway.
Think of the Steam Stats.....
I only play one day a week because I'm catching up on some other games I want to play for a while, so there's a six in seven chance that I'll help.
Seriously though, what would be the impact on Frontier? It's not like it's going drop their income at all. Companies like this look at their earnings over quarters of the year so a one day drop of people who would have paid for Arx on a particular day but didn't because they didn't play because of this protest is going to be a handful of sand in the Sahara.

Around here people think it's "If I like YOU spend." If one more nutter tells me to buy Odyssey, well, I still won't!
Maybe if you can get enough people to join you, visit the FDev head office in Cambridge then glue yourselves to the front of the building just like those Climate people.
Well, there's this prickly little issue that just came up:
"Thargoid fleets have invaded the Didio, Novas and Sosong systems, placing over ten billion lives at risk."
So your plan would result in the needless death of billions of innocent men, women and children.
Think of the children.
And then chop down a tree. With a herring.
Well, they're still doing it, just in different time periods spanning the last 30 years.
