I feel like the people saying this now aren't going to follow through and will buy future Nintendo products. If this behavior was a deal breaker for you then you would already be boycotting Nintendo.

Well, given that the last game I officially bought by Nintendo was Metroid Prime Dread (because I really really want that franchise to regain its former glory, same with F-Zero) and that also after a year or so of not buying anything new. Yeah I was kinda in a soft boycott already.

So in other words you were already boycotting them, and nothing has changed due to this lawsuit.

Depends on the person really. I've been a sailor all my life, and the only times I've bought games was when I bought some physical disc games for my ps4, so it really depends on the person.

@theshatterstone54 @Fizz I've bought a physical copy of every switch game I've ever played on Yuzu on my Steam Deck... It was just nice having to only carry one portable about, and a superior overall gaming experience. I'll never do business with Nintendo again over this...

Pretty much everyone on Lemmy is here to spite reddit. If there's any group capable of following through on a total boycott, it'd be lemmy
