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.
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 agree with all of this, my point is your Xbox controller is a Microsoft product? And if you purchase or play any games I need by Microsoft, they are also Microsoft products? So you would need to boycott all of that as well. That is just a much larger net cast than just not using Windows.
BDS does not imply you stop using whatever you already own. it's about preventing future purchases

Again, agreed. The original poster said "use Linux, that will remove everything Microsoft". That is disingenuous, because you can use Linux and still purchase Microsoft products compatible with Linux. So my point was not to toss your existing items. However, you cannot replace your existing physical Microsoft products, purchase new digital content, or support any of Microsoft software in addition to switching from Windows. I didn't imply anything about what you may already own.

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

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.

That is true.

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

Divest? Sell?

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

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.

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

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