100% but I’d like to think companies tend to telegraph their bullshittery enough in advance that unless you have blinders on you’ll see it

How could we not care? You’re our brother after all. But it hurts a lot so much that yes we are making distance now. Not because we stopped caring, but it hurts us as well.

Regardless of what people think about Carney or Pollievre the numbers show average Canadians are not going to America anymore and average Canadians want to distance ourselves from America.

Americans writ large are not aware of the generational damage being wrecked on their nation. This will take decades if not centuries to heal at best and may never return to what it once was.

Please note this is not directed at you personally as I’m sure you are a good person on an individual level.

Speaking as a Canadian I, and many of us, are absolutely fed up of your bullshit because regardless of if you personally voted for that shithead and every other shithead around him like Lutnick or Hoefstra this is who the country wants representing them.

This is also not new behaviour. We have known for decades we are attached to a big brother we love dearly but also happens to run a meth lab in their house and beats their wife.

You need help. Honest to God you need help. Yet all your country can do is punch down and wail about the rest of the world not bending over when you tell it to.

We tried helping you get better. We continue to try because we love you. But Jesus Christ get your shit together.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there and I’ll extend as someone who used to love sports games, I haven’t physically bought one since like Xbox 360 when I think my system was bundled with it. All sports games are digital now because it’s the same goddamn game at this point with roster updates what is the bloody point? Lol

So even then I agree but I don’t think it’s just that they’re morons they are either disingenuous morons or truly stupid because I sense a lot of them are not buying physical media of their FIFA or NBA games anymore.

Used game stores back this up. What you see at used game stores now are the ever popular mainstream shit that has no replay value, where are all the FIFA copies? Oh right everyone downloads now.

You know what you don’t see at gamestop? Elden ring. It’s good. Replay value high.

You know what else you don’t see at gamestop? Clair obscura. It’s new. Physical media is dead.

Oh I’ll preorder from soft games. Preorder when you trust the source and they don’t have a history of fuckery.

And yet America is about to crown a 3rd term President. Interesting indeed.
