I want to play them. Sony PC ports are objectively good games. Maybe you subjectively don't like some but you are a minority.

They lost sales from me. Given time, I would probably buy all of them. I usually always buy games. I have 800 games on Steam.

Nestlé products taste good. Does my Nestlé boycott still count if I steel it?

[–] Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Only if you steal directly from Nestle.

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel the argument is a little different when it comes to physical goods.

Stealing a Nestlé product takes away revenue just like if it were left on the shelf, never purchased, and discarded by the shop. The main benefit there is the edible portion of the product doesn't end up in a landfill.

It's the same when I look at my dignity. When I boycott a company or a specific product, I don't even want it for free.

No more Rolo, even when it is a gift.

What would you say to vegan activists that break into farms and steal animals? That's wrong too because they are boycotting the meat industry?

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

l would say it's dumb because more animals get harmed that way, because the missing animals will get replaced.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The next animal was already coming either way. Stolen, lost, dead animals are all counted the same way.

The activist taking animals ensures that whatever was going to happen, its that minus whatever they rescue. You could argue its such a small difference its not worth it, but veganism is about minimizing any harm possible, which includes to single animals.

the difference is not worth it

minimizimg any harm

How do counter argue yourself...

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

I said YOU could argue (or anyone) as in there is an argument to be made there, its not one I agree with personally but people are free to have their own perspectives.

Is there a problem with that?

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If more people held themselves accountable, these products wouldn't exist. I know it can be an awkward situation to deny a gift for ethical reasons. Kudos to you.

Only if you're borrowing the hot chocolate and allow them to walk into your kitchen and repossess it whenever they want.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you saying you wouldn't steal from Nestle?

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't steel from anybody, but if you want to make it the lorry problem, yes I would rather steal from an evil company than a less evil.

Doesn't mean I start stealing.
