If I catch a whiff of censorship, I just do not buy it. I don't care if it's a remake/remaster, a port or some butcher job done when localizing it. I will not buy it.

If it's a butcher job by a localizer, I may just go full spite and buy an original language version.

I agree especially those butchered localizer games those people don't know how to do they're damn jobs

My friends, colleagues and someone that I followed on X. Basically, all have the same mentality. Complaining about thing and then consuming the same thing although different title/franchise that they argue, very deep preferences for thing made by the East which contain exactly the same thing but subtle or they choose to ignore it because it was made in the Eastern countries.

So, your Twitter buddies.

I also refuse to do the whole "buy it to show support" nonsense.

I did that ONCE for Cave Story+ on Steam, because I had hoped that Pixel would see some of the cash... but I was then stuck with an inferior product that I didn't enjoy as much as the freeware version. People told me that I should buy Mega Man 11 to show support for the franchise, and some weirdo compium filled notion that it would somehow show Capcom that I would want more Mega Man X... but no. I played the demo, I watched multiple runs. I do not like Mega Man 11 in any way, shape or form. I will not give Capcom money for a product I do not like just so that they may in some manner see that I'm supporting the franchise.

No, I'd just be supporting their horrible new take on a franchise I like. I would be supporting more of something I cannot stand. I won't do that, because it's sending the wrong message.

Because they're retarded

Former classmates & colleagues, "like-minded" people that I hang out with, physically. Never interact on Twitter, just followed certain well known figure that "vocal against censorship/enshitification" because I love observing everyone opinion/action and noticing some flaws and patterns that is counterproductive.

Has "vote with your wallet" changed a single enshittification practice? Ever? No, because for every 1 person who cares 10,000 people pre-ordered

This is a moral problem and must be solved by law. Not left to the lowest common denominator to "vote"(be manipulated by advertising) about. It's like saying scams should be allowed because the victims "voted" for it. It's always been a trash metaphor that was never intended to actually check anticonsumer and antisocial behavior.

gotta vote with the wallet to break the cycle

Another possible reason for this in general, where people simply do not have a choice they would fully like. Every time I have to buy a phone has been painful the last fifteen years. There simply is no option that I would like: that is, without built in surveillance, constant advertisements and platform-lock-in. But I still have to pick one, because without a phone you basically don't exist.
And now personal computers are increasingly follow suit.

For games, probably the people in question feel that this is the only way to play a certain genre or style they like.
