    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.

      lol “you get to decide not to buy the game!” is an argument just like “if you don’t like this political decision, just leave!” is an argument.

      Technically yes, yet so dumb and shallow it won’t get your very far.

          Oh thanks for informing me, I was under the impression this conversation was about the conflicts regarding taxes on tea exports.

          Or perhaps the conversation was about videogames, but analogies can be used to explain flaws in arguments regardless of direct context.

          Guess we will never know which option is true!

        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.
