Question from Readers:
Shoko Nakagawa has been criticized for buying the Switch 2 from a reseller. Why is she being attacked so much? It’s hard to understand, especially since criticizing her won’t help anyone get a Switch 2.
The Controversy Surrounding Shoko Nakagawa’s Switch 2 Purchase
Recently, I noticed that Shoko Nakagawa has received significant criticism for purchasing the Switch 2
from a reseller. Honestly, I initially couldn’t understand why she was being attacked so harshly.
Reselling and Its Impact
It’s true that buying from resellers takes away opportunities for regular people to get their hands on the product. Especially for gaming enthusiasts, it’s a frustrating time when trying to get a long-awaited new console. However, I find it a bit strange that Shoko has become the target when all she wanted to do was enjoy gaming. I remember desperately refreshing my browser multiple times in an attempt to get a popular gaming console. In the end, I couldn’t buy it and felt on the verge of tears, but playing at the arcade with friends helped distract me, and we had a lot of fun. I still remember my friend’s words, “Let’s try again next year!” fondly.
The Backlash
Still, it’s puzzling how attacking her won’t actually get anyone a Switch 2, yet the outrage on social media is quite real. It seems that people sometimes direct their frustration over not being able to obtain something they love toward others. Perhaps because Shoko is famous, people see her as a sort of “example” to target. I also find myself venting to friends over small things and later reflect, “Did I go too far?” It’s human nature to feel irritable when we can’t achieve something we want.
In Conclusion
Ultimately, I believe enjoying gaming is the most important thing. While there are mixed opinions about buying from resellers, it’s crucial for us to find ways to enjoy ourselves. I’ve been spending more time gaming at home with my kids, sharing laughs, and sometimes getting frustrated when I lose. What do you all think?
