    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.

    nowhere on the BDS website does it say to stop using electronics you already own. it's about not buying new ones

      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.

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

              BDS does not imply you stop using whatever you already own. it's about preventing future purchases

                  institutions should divest from future and present contracts. most consumers don't have contracts with Microsoft. selling your electronics doesn't hurt them in any way nor is that something that BDS asks for on their website:

                    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.

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

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

                          Better than not boycotting though.

                            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.

                                  And piracy means that you can enjoy them without having to support whatever bad shit happened to make them so you don't need to avoid them

                                  Pretty simple stuff, really

                                      Well, it's not so simple for gaming. People who don't already own a gaming PC will need to drop a lot of money to buy one, and then get used to gaming on Linux (which can be janky, as I'm sure you know).

                                      But, it's worth it.

                                        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.

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.

                                          The 8bitdo Ultimate 2C is very cheap as controllers go, and is also one of my favourites. Certainly my go-to for general purpose
