No one should be surprised that this comment doesn't go over well on HN. But the multiple people replying to you like "Oh? Cool I'm gonna buy more now that I know it signals that I love war" is really disgusting. And they're all identical, like you've activated something in their programming.
Yeah, I’m seeing this a lot too recently. I guess polarization comes for us all eventually. Nuance and cognitive dissonance are so painful for some they simply flatten their position to something that feels safely straightforward, even if ghoulish?
but your position that people just making nuanced non-emotional purchase decisions is somehow flawed itself is the main point of contention, its similar to how vegetarians keep pushing their views and preferences as a yardstick to measure others who don't share the same values.
people are diverse yet its highly ironic that those that push it are selectively even more less tolerant. history points to that as being the focal point of major events where one side simply couldn't tolerate that there were people with different value systems.

Top of the thread, and resurrected from being (rightfully) flagged, and currently shadowing over any actual conversation about game development. How on earth do you see that as "not going over well"?

Their previous console had an edition made of the same metal as Anduril's lethal drones.
