with piracy you can boycott games without even stopping yourself from playing them.
Well except for any Xbox peripherals such as controllers, or games published or made by studios owned by Microsoft. It’s not just Windows OS.

The most cowardly and entitled boycott is certainly the one where you still consume without spending money.

So, the company you supporting publicly uses torrent, to feed its AI model, to Murder on camera, children, women, fist aid worker, journalist and innocents people. Yet, you call someone using the pirated content weak?

Video games are a luxury and it should be easy to avoid them.

its in fact the best boycott. rub it in their faces and force them to spend millions in DRM, or pay up.

Better than not boycotting though.

Glad I‘ve waited for the Switch 2 pro controller to come out. I‘m in need of a new one and Xbox probably would‘ve been my second choice. And yes I‘ve looked into 8bitdio and what not, but they‘re not cheap either and I was happy with my switch pro for 7 years until recently.

I mean Nintendo isn’t really pro-consumer either. I’m not sure if they donate or support genocide, but they are pretty capitalistic to a fault.

You criticize capitalism, yet you participate in it. Curious. /s
If you know a manufacturer that‘s handing out world class controllers for free let me know, but otherwise I didn‘t ask.

No, but you did say something pretty stupid, as they pointed out

What do you like about the switch pro controller? it has always felt cheap to me.

These days 8BitDo controllers are superior to first party Xbox controllers and sold for cheaper.

Yep, I have the 2.4ghz dongle ones with hall effect sensors and charging stand. Its just better and cheaper. The dongle is so that I don’t have to sync, I kinda like the whole plug in and it just works.

For sure, there are lots of options for controllers for PC!
