    But you realise you could swap the Nintendo games with child slave chocolate and this discussion would have played out just the same. What makes one boycott more likely to succeed than another? That’s setting aside the fact that you’re assuming everybody will have the same set of social values as you.

      We’re taking about pirating the games, not buying them. Not buying them is still voting with your wallet.

        Wouldn’t you want to skip Nintendo games so that they stop being culturally relevant? I often hear that piracy is good for media creators in the long run.

        This is the message we were replying to

          Yes, the one responding to a suggestion to pirate their games, which directly references piracy in the quote you pasted.
