Then don't buy a console? How does your neighbor Bob playing on his Xbox series s affect you at all?
I mean duh, I can make up any strawman I want and say "there's a difference".
No one said that you wanted to commit console genocide, just that your neighbors Xbox is none of your business and you really ought to take a chill pill and game how you please.
I'm about to blow your mind...
You get to decide.
You decide where to (or not to) buy and play the games you want. Like I said there is no requirement to stick to 1 platform and you honestly sound so wound up by this opinion I'm astounded.
We're talking video games here. Nothing else.
That is the most ridiculous straw man argument I've never heard
You live in a country you are invested in a country which is why leaving it is so difficult. You're talking about just not buying a console, it's the difference between altering a way of life that is being fine up until now versus not getting engaged in one in the first place.
It's completely different.
