Please don’t support Nintendo. They have been super aggressive with lawsuits. They should go after people doing illegal things, but the palworld stuff and dmca people streaming games is pretty bad.
As long as Nintendo continues to support a physical format, I’m going to buy a Switch 2 and games for it. You’re free to make a personal decision about whether to support a company or not; everyone has to make their own purchasing decisions based on their values and priorities. I don’t support many companies that you probably do support, some that you may not even give a second thought to. Palworld, for me, doesn’t rank.
I agree but technically they are in the right. Technically game streaming is likely illegal and breaks copyright. It’s commonly accepted and often encouraged by most companies though.
I guess we’ve lost this battle, but down vote is not for disagreement. This comment provides an on-topic opinion and suggestion in a polite way, without any hate speech or trying to start a flame war.
Eh? Where’s the line exactly? I’d much sooner boycott a company because they’re causing genuine damage with ridiculous lawsuits, than because they make bad games.
It is about then filing a patent in 2021 for “aiming and throwing an item to capture a character”. Something that had been done in RPGs for decades. And they bribed enough officials in Japan to get it approved 1 month before palworld came out.
Then they used the full might of Nintendo legal bribery and lawyers to try to crush indie developers that dare make their “style” of game (which they have been floundering for a decade) better than they do.
Not to mention that they use threats to shut down completely legal emulation software that they themselves steal and use after refusing to preserve old games themselves.

No company is perfect. The only thing bad enough to boycott here is modern Pokemon games, until those devs learn how to code properly.

I’m buying a launch console to not play for future hacks for

What? It isn’t about that at all.
