Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I've just assumed they don't care. They've done scummy shit for years, and it doesn't really matter because they'll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won't ultimately impact sales.
Oh, it VERY much will hurt their sales, just not this quarter. Though in ten years when Nintendo is wondering why they're struggling to grow a new fan base, they might remember all the people they pissed off who now are not introducing their children to Nintendo.
Nintendo first party IP alone can carry them through, not to mention the national pride Japan has towards their success. Western Sales are nice, but I don't think they put as much attention into them.
Dude for every one of us there are 19 others that will introduce the children.
Same view as those thinking Reddit would die when we all came here.
I like to make the choices I do on moral grounds, not hoping for death to a company, it’s how I sleep at night. Does me never shopping on Amazon affect them? Nope. Do I feel better for not giving them my money. Yes.
All we can do is be the best person we want and nothing more.
It does affect tgem. Why do you think companies insist on enshittification? They're not ALL just greedy fucking suits.
They get burned by making shitty decisions, so why are you deciding to turn down the heat? Fucking pathetic.
Enshittification isn’t because people are not using their services. It’s because the growth isn’t happening at the rates they’re used to so they can either spend more money improving the product, or make it shit for the current customers to make more money.
They are all greedy suits as growth is the only metric they’re interested in.
That aside I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make here fam.
Like I said, assume they're ALL just dumb greedy suits at your own peril.
Would be swell if you were to elaborate, you know and perhaps contribute.
