    You also don’t need an iphone or mac since there are plenty of other smartphones and PCs available, but nobody stopped buying them because foxxcon used slave labor.

    Everyone draws the line where they want, this controversy only exists because people were trying to guilty trip streamers and anyone online from playing it, do not try to rewrite what happened.

      You mean you didnt stop buying apple products? Lots of people, myself included, avoid slave labor brands.

      (And also most jobs and housing do require a phone, and its better to buy a used phone second hand than a brand new phone every time. Utility devices are far more nuanced and intricate about “ethical” choices than a video game.)

      E: also, this thread specifically is about death of the author, which I dont think anyone would apply to iphones at any point regradless
