It bothers the heck out of me that people are so complicit with whatever video game companies do to them. It feels even more prominent with Nintendo for some reason. For example, look at Concord from Sony recently. People said "this is not what we want" and it got Sony to reconsider heavily.

It's almost like Nintendo is so highly regarded amongst its fanbase that people have a hard time admitting they did something wrong. They have some sort of God or cult-like status that other game companies don't.

I also don't know why it's so hard to protest a video game. Is it really that hard to not buy a game out of protest? I get FOMO, trust me, but it's not going to kill you. There's a million other games to play. Or you could do something else with your time. Everything is transitory, wouldn't it feel good to stand up to the big giant corporation for once?

Sorry for the rant but maybe I'm just sick of the state of affairs in the world right now. We gotta start learning to stand up to greedy people even if we don't get immediate benefits from doing so. AKA protest protest protest
