Just replied to same question on another post, so just going to copy/paste the answer here:
I believe it’s the people browsing by ‘All’ and ‘New’ and they don’t like these games. I pretty much get a downvote on all posts right after I post them.
Because I get them on pretty much all posts, it doesn’t seem random, but it also doesn’t make sense why someone will subscribe to a community and keep downvoting all posts.
Nintendo isn’t popular right now in Lemmy due to their hostility toward emulators. Recently Ryujinx was forced to shutdown, and browsing around in the other gaming communities, posts and comments about gamers no longer buying Nintendo are getting upvoted.
So I think moving forward you may be seeing lots of downvotes on any Nintendo post anyone makes, specifically from users that browse by All.
Edit:
I also forgot about Horizon. Sony is in the hot seat as well with their forced PSN network login hostility for PC games. And quite recently, Sony removed the original Horizon Zero Dawn game from store fronts (apart from GOG) and are forcing customers to buy the Remastered game for more money and the forced PSN login. Gamers are outraged about a game from 2017 getting remastered along with the PSN network requirement, so anything about Horizon will also face lots of downvotes.
Yeah, I don’t get it. If you don’t like Nintendo, then don’t look at posts in Nintendo community. Block the community so you never have to see anything from it.
It’s not like we are official Nintendo partners and downvoting us would effect Nintendo. It’s a community for people who enjoy their games.
Anyways, nothing we can do about it. Thanks for your input!
