Turns out companies would rather reverse planned obsolescence than lose access to an entire geographic market. I wonder what else we could get these capitalist fascists to do if we united and forced them into a corner?
But what if it goes wrong, and the parasites vacate our area, leaving room for vibrant innovative new companies to thrive?!
😱 oh no!
It’s not user replaceable but it’s not actually that hard to replace it, so this basically just takes work away from all those little repair shops. Still good for customers but probably not much of a difference for Nintendo.
