Question, do you "vote with your wallet"?
Are there certain things you either buy or don't buy, out of some kind of principle?
On a related note, this is something I've been wondering about of late. I've had a few over the years.
For example, I didn't buy the FFX collection on Switch because of the whole "FFX-2 has a one-use download code but in Japan it's on the cart" thing.
I thought it was a ****ty practice by Square, and didn't buy it... But of course, it sold pretty well and other companies have done it. I'm sure there are many people who haven't bought the Mario collection on Switch for similar reasons, but it's charted as a best-seller so obviously Nintendo aren't losing sleep over it.
As the years go by, I've come to feel that apart from in very specific cases, this is a waste of time. Nothing changes or affects those who do these things, and all that happens is that I don't get the things I otherwise want for no good reason. So I'm in a bit of quandary.
