      You’re surprised that the Nintendo community will buy Nintendo products?

        As a side observation yes, I’m surprised Lemmy did such an about face

          Lemmy is not a single person. Different people have different opinions. In the Nintendo community, they’re probably going to be more favorable towards Nintendo.

            Obviously my tongue in cheek original comment was a criticism of the prevailing tone that many many subs had over previous months. I’m calling out the hypocrisy of the group, not the individual. I’m calling out how quickly sentiment shifts as soon as the member berries are activated

              The group is not saying one thing and doing another, because the group is many people saying many things.

                Obviously dude. I’m talking group to group not group to individual. That’s clear throughout, especially cause I didn’t @ or reply to anyone.

                  First you said “y’all”, and us all would be the people here in this community, then you said “Lemmy” in general, so no it was not at all clear.

                  The Nintendo community does not speak for all of Lemmy, nor does Lemmy in general speak for Nintendo consumers.

        Lemmy was up in arms at Nintendo with their stance on emulator legal crackdown. I saw many “never again” comments. Now a new thing from a beloved franchise comes out and the tone is “gimmeeee”

          Ah got it, well you cannot be sure the same people who is against Nintendo is the same who wants to play the newest Metroid (well, maybe you could, if you investigate, as Lemmy userbase is still small, it would be feasible, but it would be a waste of time IMHO).

          Also there is another fraction of people who will play their games but won’t support Nintendo financially 🏴‍☠️ so yeah, this subject is just not white and black I think.
