Ya I never understood the whole not support a game to teach a company a lesson theory. This game is on track to be the best selling game in the series, Nintendo is not going to look at the data and say, "holy shit, Nem didn't buy this game because he couldn't get a special edition, we better rethink our strategy!!!!"

Thankgod your reason wasn't because of the censorship or the CONTENT!

I am waiting for a special edition restock its been a long wait. :^l

Its okay no need to stress about it. I have found that limited editions are a bit overrated. Usually an art book that i look through once, sometimes a soundtrack that you can get for free somewhere online, steelbook cover...meh. Just by it digitally its so much more convenient.

but at the price of 2.. :/

I mean as one game with 2 paths

And? If someone isn't happy with how a company is handling things, it seems voting with your wallet is the only option.

I'm probably not buying it because there's no choice to a black avatar in the character creation. I get the "voting with your wallet" idea in theory, but I am under no kind of delusion that Nintendo cares or will change their decision because of me.

I'm not teach them a lesson. I'm not hitting them where it hurts. I'm just buying something else that is more inclusive and maybe hoping the next game will add skin tones and diverse hairstyles and facial features.

Not really because the game is already a big success, his one lost sale will mean nothing to Nintendo, they will see that the game is a big success and continue what they are doing.

Instead of complaining about it on a message board that Nintendo will never see, he should go on one of their social media pages or email them expressing his displeasure with how they handled things. That at least has a chance of being seen by them which increases the chances of them fixing the problem.

Voting with your wallet doesn't work unless it's a huge amount of people who do the same and even that doesn't work because it doesn't explain to Nintendo what they did wrong.

Agreed, "voting with your wallet" doesn't work because it doesn't let them know why you aren't buying the game. It doesn't teach them a lesson or hurt them in any significant way.

Are you being serious that you probably won't buy the game because of lack of diversity in character creation? If so, you should try contacting them and let them know you want that in future installments, the only way they will know that people want that is if people tell them that's what they want.

KLXVER said: I have zero interest in Fire Emblem, so I support anyone who doesn't buy Fates. Bigger chance for me that Nintendo focus more on games I like

Well that's selfish, but I am the same way towards their non gamer games, and it seems like it's actually coming to fruition!
