What people are going to do about this? If you don't boycott or protest in a way that will effect the companies in large scale, you will get a download code. Same thing goes for switch 2, that people complained and still bought, and this goes for any gaming device or not. Call me crazy, call clown, call me communist, but people should cut them off, stop, stop buying, its your voice, our voice, we pay and the do hear us.

Bingo, I stopped spending money on Nintendo shit, I stopped paying for Spotify, Netflix etc etc. When they do anti consumer shit, otherwise, what's the point? It just keeps getting worse and worse, because they still see record profits.

Boycotting doesn't work. The masses don't care. All it can do is make your own life better (which, don't get me wrong, I'm all for).

Boycotting absolutely works, it simply requires a large enough amount of consumers to boycott that it affects the company's bottom line more than they stand to gain by following through with the reason folks are boycotting.
