Honestly yes, I don't think people truly realise how deeply in the shitter we are. Best outcome would be to duck off with it now, in a year. Carbon zero. But this won't happen.

Why a game convention though? Does the gaming industry use any oil?
It's about getting the message out and being disruptive. Standing on a street corner with a sign does nothing as the news ignores you.
But disrupting a major event/traffic or attempting to destroy a priced piece of art with soup out of all things makes you and your organisation look like a massive pile of shit there are way way way better ways of protesting such as picketing as you said or rallys if you bring enough people say 200 or 300 you'll appear on the social media and prehaps local and regional news prehaps if you make a large enough splash you might sway the general public to your cause
You don't. Protests happen all the time in the hundreds. How many have you heard of? I haven't heard of any unless it gets violent. Unions strikes are disruptive so you hear about them. Cost of living marches walking past government buildings or protesting outside of them? Nothing.
Want to know the last march I heard about that was large and non disruptive? It was on a Youtube video. The youtubers didn't even know it was happening.
Blocking a road is boring now so isn't being reported as much, disrupting a gaming tournament gets news.
Rallies help don't get me wrong but they are often ignored. The disruptive, novel protests get news coverage.

When did anyone destroy art with soup?
Just Stop Oil threw soup on artwork in a museum. It wasn't destroyed all the souped art had protective glass shields and they knew that which is why they did it. Basically just made a mess that you can clean up with a cloth and mop.
They've souped quite a few artworks before.
Well that's the opposite of an answer to my question, it's an example of a time they didn't destroy art with soup

Does the average person tune in to watch O&G industry conventions?
I suppose that there's plastic in various electronic devices, like controllers.
There's plastic in literally everything welcome to the modern world
Well, computers run on electricity, and gaming is a frivolous use, I guess?
Well this is way better than blocking roads and glueing your hands on the tarmac
Nah, I'd say it's about the same. I like both tactics!
"gamign", said the gaming journalist
At least we know it isn't an AI generated article
That's not any better
