that is typically how boycotts work yes.
Nestle isn't poisoning their bottled water but some people still refuse to buy it.
Yup
I don't even have a single Nintendo or game of any sort. My kids got dupped by YouTube and so now it's either cry or pay for that shit.....a few years ago.... Today though, they are old enough to get pissed at things. I shall explain what Nintendo is doing so that they make better choices in the future.
It's not new though, it has been happening for years. Selection bias might be skewing your view.
That was their point lol
This is arguably the tamest thing Nintendo has done recently, so it's a weird final straw
I should have articulated my point better. I meant that this has been the "final straw" for some people for most of those steps along the way in the picture. If you look at the comments from then it's often the same kind of thing you're seeing right now. That's why I mentioned selection bias, because there are actually lots of final straws happening over time, people just aren't seeing those or weren't around then.
Are you suggesting that no one is allowed to see Nintendo do a new bad thing and say "I'm no longer willing to give them my money"?
Not to mention there's nothing 'amicable' about a massive corporation, infamous for their lawsuits, approaching a single programmer with a deal that is obviously the only way to avoid being sued, despite the fact that emulators are legal.
If someone purchases a Switch game they have every right to back it up and use an emulator to play it. Instead of strongarming these projects into submission, the ethical thing would be working with them to sell legal access to ROMs.
