They got you fighting a console war so you don't fight a class war 😔
Well I agree on your general standpoint, but blaming a company or talking about how one company is bad is IMHO totally fine, even if other shitty companies exist. Otherwise we end up in whataboutism.
I want to be able to say "Apple is Nestle for IT" without being colored as a Windows fan. Both are shit and blaming one doesn't imply being fine with the others.
I find there’s this dynamic where when they’re talking about their favored platform in neutral spaces, they’ll be slavish fanboys shitting in other platforms and passionately defending their platform. But in spaces dedicated to their platform, it’s nothing but gripes and grievances about the shitty things the corporation is doing with regards to the platform.
Not helped by how 90% of the complaining about Nintendo from fans of other consoles is some variant of "graphics not gray-brown hyperrealism = for gay babies".
