No it isn’t. You’re here on a soapbox telling people that they aren’t doing enough by completely changing their buying behavior. That’s not enough – they have to also conform to an arbitrary goalpost that you set. Nintendo is still so in your life that you’re can’t even let people pirate their shit in peace.
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.
’Cause last time I recall in history, when fascist corporations exists, there’s literally only one remedy for boycotting them.
Your linux plight is honestly hearsay to this conversation, and I support it, as an anarchist.
But Nintendo has already C&D MANY linux projects. How many more linux projects do you want to see C&D?

Supporting Nintendo is self harm, I am just trying to suggest to people that they don’t have to participate in that self harm.
Seriously, this is you right now.
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.

Could you then explain:
what you then meant by this?

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.
That doesn’t make logical sense as a reply.
Pointing out that pointless actions are pointless isn’t “supporting” anything but thought. Bye.
