Pokemon fans are some of the dumbest people in fandom. They will take bottom tier slop with a smile and get upset when you suggest that maybe the highest grossing franchise in human history should maybe do a little bit better. The reborn lineage of games is the only thing keeping me from abandoning the franchise entirely.
I’m no expert, but; its retaliation. Harm for harm. Hell maybe even a pride thing. They do hurt China to some extent (in a vague capitalistic sense), it’s just worse for America.
Edit: their tariffs might not hurt them as much as ours hurt us, either. They do, what, A third of the planets manufacturing or something? They’ll be far less invested in imports than America is.
Cool, i doubt it’ll change ubisoft, but maybe if enough people do it.
