All empirical evidence shows that boycotts don't work unless they're extremely big. Say, if you could get two thirds of the Nintendo fanbase to not buy a Switch 2, that would probably work. If it's only you, then you're just hurting yourself. If nothing else, you're cutting yourself off from the possibility to get a Switch 2 and hack it. | ||

I'm of the same opinion. I also have my pet boycott, which is Microsoft, but I don't delude myself into thinking that it's anything but my little expression of feeling betrayed by them. No signal is being sent here, these entities are larger than us than I am for the ants in my garden. Realistically, it's a waste of attention to care, unless someone specifically wants to do so. Instead, I found that the more varied things I partake in, the better quality of life I have. | ||
