      See but I’ve never heard Nintendo supporting genocide actively.

      Like, yes, they’re a corporation, they love money, they do stupid things to get money, but they’re not doing nearly the same shit as other companies I hate.

      Or if they are, I haven’t heard of it, it’s all been game key cards.

      The game key card thing feels like a clinton-blowjob level scandal while some other people are doing a whole genocide.

      Am I missing something?

        What percentage of responsibility for that genocide goes to Microsoft? What percentage goes to Ford or GM or whoever sells them cars? What percentage goes to AWS? What percentage goes the people who make the roads they use?

        If genocide is something you care about I wouldn’t be defending a Japanese company that existed in imperial Japan.

          I mean, the people in charge of Nintendo now aren’t those people.

          In 50 years, if Microsoft had gone co-op, withdrawn from genocide, removed telemetry, and like half a dozen other things, due to a change in leadership, I’d also not hold that future Microsoft as at fault for current Microsoft.

          I also don’t hold Volkswagen responsible for the Holocaust, presently. Just the emissions fraud (and maybe more that I can’t currently recall).

            Those leaders are still Japanese. A country notorious for ignoring and downplaying their atrocities. It’s like forgiving a Holocaust denier because they weren’t alive to drive the train.
