Physical game production has nothing to do with China. Like at all.
Or I support policies like this that make it easier for me to buy products ethically. I don't see why it has to be an all or nothing thing.
So you're ok with supporting slave labor as long as it means you will have access to your luxury products when quote: "but people can live without games if it means we aren't being complicit in some of China's actions. "
The companies could just eat some of the extra costs and make a bit less profit. Outragous suggestion in our late stage capitalism nonsense society i know but still possible.
"chinese made".
No superpower is, and while America keeps undocumented immigrants under its boot of cages on borders they at least aren't smacking a cattle prod against the heads of prisoners for taking more than two mins to do their toilet business.
Yes they are. Still terrible but definitely better than China. They´re also not producing much these days s i don´t see how the comparison makes sense.

Huh? Nintendo at least only moved production from Japan to China in 2002, after the Gamecube's launch. They started shifting from China to Vietnam last year to avoid US sanctions (40% of Switches are now made in Vietnam), that percentage has likely only grown since then. It would be great if they diversified a bit more though, open a factory in Japan back up or something. China has nothing to do with the modern game industry.
Yeah I'm so sick of how they've been killing Arabs for oil for 30 years, providing arms to be used in genocide, covering up their own war crimes, throwing Mexican kids in jail and destabilising democratically elected socialist governments in other countries. Oh wait...
Because America is the reason for a lot of crap that happens in the world and you act as if Trump is any better.
I think some things are made in Japan are still held in high esteem. For example Japanese capacitors are often used as a selling point on electronics. I have a 15 year old Sony amp made in Japan that still works beautifully, and I think some Sony products are still made in Japan (like headphones).
There are black people getting killed by police just for fun on a daily basis. Just last week a police officer was filmed coughing on black people as he walks by them and laughing about it.
giving African countries cheap slave labor will do zero to stabilize anything. Maybe instead of cheap labor we actual begin to pay people a livable wage. And western countries have been expoting African of it natural resources for over 200s years now and has brought noting but disaster
Seems to be a bit like how America treats African Americans. Of course, America's long history of genocide should not be used to excuse the genocides happening in other countries such as China.Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide said:
I agree. But at this point, cheap labour is better than nothing.
The NES, SNES, GB, SMS and SMD used processors from the 70s, the PS1 used a CPU based on a design from the 80s. Arcade games were often significantly compromised to run at home. I'm not sure which of those were made in Japan, but I wouldn't call them cutting edge compared to the likes of the last couple of generations or the one coming.
Doubt that will ever come back. Sad part of that history is the US and it's xenophobia about Japan's dominance in the electronics and semiconductor business led to the US forcing sanctions on Japan regarding it which wound up causing the chip famine of 1988 which hurt many US and Japanese semiconductor businesses and electronics businesses. The chip Famine of 1988 has been considered to be the equivalent to the gas shortage of the 1970's.
It is noting. And will do noting to help many of the African nations. Instead of trying to find new slaves we should maybe try to pressure these company into actually paying more then pennies on the dollar
