It’s been past 24 hours, and not a single headquarters is in flames.

I consider your “boycott” a tantrum.

Let us know when you actually do something else than keyboard arts.

boycotts can totally be effective.

But even if a million of their customers fell off the face of the earth tomorrow, nothing would change. Nintendo is too successful for their own good. I’ll never buy a Nintendo product, but let’s not fool ourselves thinking a small group of people on the internet has anything on the largest video game company in Japan.

Cause all the fucking moron kids that clogged up reddit during summer break are now fucking moron adults clogging up reddit year-round. It’s part of why I left; I could see the average IQ of its users declining in realtime.

Unless you have no playmates, you basically play the games and later discuss with your buddies. In turn you passively encourage your mates to play the games, even if you pirate, the social force is there.

Boycotting works, we’re social creatures

ITT: people who didn’t read the article.

You probably got downvoted for saying that something which does happen “never” happens, and for calling people “stupid” if they don’t agree with your opinion, and lastly for calling a boycott “some weird campaign to pretend they don’t exist”.

You gave strangers many reasons to dismiss what you’re saying.

Is this ragebait written by an eleven year old?

Are you unaware how political action takes place?

So that’s a yes?

Let lemmy know what monopoly you have topple down, if you’re being ageist.

Everything you said is wrong

It’s copy and pasted from your comment

That doesn’t make logical sense as a reply.

What a sick ass burn.

So that’s a yes?

A million customers dropping Nintendo at once would absolutely have a massive impact, are you kidding?

In the last 24 hours I’ve had a great time playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on my laptop, feeling pleased about my 800+ games on Steam and the fact that I’m not having my life ruined by Shigeru Miyamoto’s lawyers. This is what people get wrong about boycotts and the defeatist refrain, “no ethical consumption under capitalism.” It ignores that, on the example of Nintendo, I have not purchased any of their systems since the New 2DS XL. No Switch, definitely no Switch 2. And in leveraging that opportunity cost I have instead directed my resources to one of their competitors, which has had immediate benefits for my own personal life.

It’s not about what you want to kill, it’s about what you want to grow. I am helping to support the increased use of Linux by using Linux, paying for products that have Linux, and naturally advertising for Linux as a result of that being a part of my life. I don’t care how successful Nintendo is, because I am already free from their enshittification.

What planet do you live on? Who do you think burned someone??? Lmao.

You made a whiny edit saying that people would downvote you because your comment “wasn’t popular”. I pointed out, using the exact words that you wrote, which rude and condescending statements that you made would likely cause people to think that your comment is not worth listening to.

You said that I am “wrong” despite having copy and pasted your text.

You feel “burned” when I pointed out that I copy and pasted it???

Definitely, pirated content should be free or not exist at all.
