Games

for me, it would be Nintendo... In General

any time people are critical of something Nintendo-related it gets treated as a widespread boycott.

That way when the supposed "boycott" is inevitably unsuccessful, Nintendo devotees can sarcastically go "Another successful boycott, right??"

Has happened with every Pokemon release on the Switch since Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee

As someone who also enjoys Nintendo stuff, I find it pretty difficult to criticize Nintendo without a bunch of fans getting really defensive about it.

Like with this recent Switch 2 "boycott" narrative

there isn't a boycott, it's just simply people reacting to market conditions and overall economic conditions.

Wages haven't met with inflation, games are getting expensive, times are hard right now with layoffs and a bad stock market. Prices for goods across the board are going up. Is it any wonder that people are just going to continue playing what they have or buy a cheaper (and maybe more powerful) alternative instead of being early adopters for a new console and 70-90 dollar games?
