It really bothers me that the main complaints against Pokémon Unite have been surface level stuff like “it’s a League of Legends clone” and not “the company Nintendo chose to collaborate w/ has an extensive history of invasive industry practices & funding human rights violations” https://twitter.com/nintendolife/status/1276009766804951045

I love Nintendo to death but this really scares me. It hasn’t even been a YEAR since having issues w/ Chinese investment firms providing lucrative funding in exchange for convincing companies to adopt pro-Chinese behaviors - and in some cases, censorship. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2019/03/28/commentary/world-commentary/worried-huawei-take-closer-look-tencent/

I’ll be completely honest: Pokemon Unite is actually the game MOST likely to get me into MOBAs. I don’t care for League of Legends’ character rosters but I like Pokémon so the crossover would convince me to try it out.

But I CAN’T support the company behind the development.
