    microsoft: we just fired entire studios that we bought recently. we are building a master collection of IPs to do nothing with other than passively profit off of them forever using game pass. part of this master plan is to cause large instability in the video game industry through aforementioned mass layoffs. also we are quite literally helping a genocide.

    lemmy: oh. that’s kinda shitty but I liked oblivion remastered :)

    nintendo: we made our game 80$

    lemmy: if anyone even thinks about liking some of your stuff they should be burned at the stake.

    <srs> obviously im exaggerating to make a point, and no if you ask I don’t like nintendo. fuck them. but I think the reaction here is a bit disproportionate. a company could do all the evil in the world but as long as they don’t touch the sacrosanct consumer, it’s all good in the eyes of a gamer! </srs>
