        Between my wife and I we own damn near every Nintendo console, including every game boy, most of the DS/3DS versions, and even the Wii U. We bought two Switches because we both wanted to play BotW so badly at the same time lol.

        This is where I draw the line. Palworld is an imperfect but fun game that I really enjoyed, and PocketPair deserves their success. It’s entirely on Nintendo/Game Freak for utterly failing to innovate that they now have such strong competition. They had more than enough money to try something new, get fucked.

        this is actually the opposite of what I’ve seen. quite a few fanboys are dubious and some are boycotting with sad expressions on their faces.

        that’s how badly nintendo have fucked up. sensible individuals amongst their own fan base are turning on them.

          You underestimate the power of “but the Switch 2.1 OLED + Limited Edition looks kinda slightly neat so I can’t not buy three of them

          A boycott would work, I just think most Nintendo fans are empty in their threats and will still buy the switch 2 just like all those MW2 players did back then.

            My boycott will work. I was gonna. It 4 switch 2 consoles.

            Now I will buy zero.

            And contribute to efforts to crack that thing.

            If you buy something, you own it.

      I’ll keep playing my N64 and NES, I might even buy some more used games. But I’ll never give them another dollar.

        I’m bummed cause I was hype on Mario kart world.

        Hell I was hype on my MacBook and iPhone too.

        But the last 4 months have made it clear: the revolution we need isn’t possible using the devices of our oppressors

        Make no mistake:

        Apple Nintendo Microsoft etc are oppressors.

        Well emulate switch 2 eventually. I’ll play Mario kart world eventually.

        I nurse grudges a long time. I’m patient. And angry.

        These corporations have been conspiring against us and are now openly supporting fascism in my country.

        I will do everything I can to hurt these businesses and ruin the men behind them. Hey fopdoodle / contrarian / fascist who is gonna tell me how pointless my goals are: then why are you scared ? (“lol you think I’m scared” can’t wait to see it)

        Nerd together strong. Angry nerds together is a potential disaster for the techno fascists.

        Stay angry my friends. Everyday we do one thing to work against them we are winning. We will win.

        And then we will have justice. It will be a vengeful justice for all the misdeeds they collectively have visited on every woman, immigrant, trans person or anyone they have chosen to hurt.

        We won’t forget this shit.

        (Corporate encroachment on our rights to the property we own is a symptom of a much bigger problem. This isn’t about video games, it’s the corrupt fascism thst enables the corporate thievery that’s the root. And Nintendo picked a side. The wrong one)

          Last time someone told me a game wasn’t for me I never bought any of their titles again. It has been years since that happened. I’m in it to win it on this one too. Eat shit Nintendo.
