    Wouldn’t you want to skip Nintendo games so that they stop being culturally relevant? I often hear that piracy is good for media creators in the long run.

    i mean it’s not your refusal to play pokémon schmirtle & thromble that will plunge nintendo to obscurity

    at that point, if the game interests you, may as well pirate it

    Sounds like an argument for pirating if you feel like it, regardless of everything else. Can’t say I agree with this one even if there are good reasons to pirate in plenty of cases.

    Nah, keeping their old catalog relevant just twists the knife in them more. Like pouring a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide on the wound.

    Is it petty? Sure. But Nintendo cannot out-petty me.

    Um. Hydrogen peroxide would clean the wound and, presumably with said volume, also irrigate it pretty effectively, so...

    edit: the two fucknuggets downvoting facts... ah, reddit leakage like Olestra.

    Yeah, it does clean the wound (after the pretty nasty burning sensation). Wouldn't want it to get infected, someone could die from that! And if they died they'd be getting it easy.

    I mean, also we are talking about being petty to a business, not actually injuring people. Never actually injure someone.

    There are way, way too many people who have never heard of Nintendo's problems and/or don't care for it to make any difference. They're culturally relevant, and there's nothing you or I can do about it.

    This kind of thinking certaintly won't contribute to that changing.

    Abstaining from entertainment to no actual end drains valuable mental energy that could be going into constructive solutions.

    How does not playing a game drain more valuable mental energy than downloading, installing, and playing it?

    If you really want to do something, and you're watching everyone else enjoy it on social media, that takes willpower. You only have so much willpower, so why not use it on something that actually helps someone, like not eating meat or child shave chocolate or whatever?

    But you realise you could swap the Nintendo games with child slave chocolate and this discussion would have played out just the same. What makes one boycott more likely to succeed than another? That's setting aside the fact that you're assuming everybody will have the same set of social values as you.

    We're taking about pirating the games, not buying them. Not buying them is still voting with your wallet.
