I did kind of want to play Ultimate, but yeah it would especially feel bad to give them money for that after how dirty they are doing Melee.
how very strangely woke of you
Man did the woke people hijack voting with your wallet? How did they swing that?
oh, no, that just doesn't work
I am not sure this is true but even if it didn't work I feel better about myself when I take principled stances and it's easy to take a principled stance about something that is already marginal like spending $300 plus to play a few video games I vaguely think I might enjoy.
i'm into that. you've earned my approval
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

I feel pretty confident stating that every company worth over a billion dollars has done lots of bad things. Companies worth over a trillion dollars I'm sure regularly do terrible things.

But the reason you shouldn't buy a Switch is because the Switch is a terrible console which unfortunately has a few decent games for it, that would be way better if they weren't on Switch.

I have never given Apple a dime. I am not aware of anything Google has done that is worth feeling bad about using them but I am prepared to accept that I am ignorant about this. Amazon I kind of do feel bad about using but that is mostly my wife.
I work for Amazon now. If it helps, you can pretend the money you spend is feeding my family

Specifically I'm a software engineer in Amazon Business, and I work on a system that helps generate prospects and get more information about our customers. And by customers I mean businesses not humans. I think it would bother me if we were gathering data on individuals.

can we arrive on some universal bads like supporting a dictator is probably just bad, right. not a lot of grey there.
Dictators are not a universal bad. Good dictators who genuinely care about their subjects can be, and historically were, extremely effective. The problem is that it is not possible for a system of dictatorship to guarantee good dictators. (Good kings have shitty sons sometimes, or are deposed). And bad dictators are VERY bad.

Yeah I don't even play Smash and I've heard about this, it's a big deal, internet nerd-wise.

well Smash players, obviously, that's kind of a given

that said, this time it's not them doing the terrible things. Basically Nintendo revoked all of Smash World Tour's licenses for no reason, meaning they can't host Smash events. Their competitor, Panda gets all the licenses they want though, so people are saying (probably correctly) that Panda did some secret skullduggery with Nintendo to make them deny licenses to SWT.
