I looked at those companies and thought, “you wish you were stakeholders.”

Tell me when the developers of Among Us, Pokemon, GRIS, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Ori, Cities: Skylines, etc. join the letter.

You're missing the point entirely. This is for FTP ad supported games, the 2 you mention (of which only one actually uses Unity) are all paid games.

How about the big studios pulling support for Unity:

Massive Monster (Cult of the Lamb): https://twitter.com/MassiveMonster/status/170180856714010263...

Mega Crit (Slay the Spire): https://twitter.com/MegaCrit/status/1702077576209207611

Inner Sloth (HEY LOOK, AMONG US): https://twitter.com/InnerslothDevs/status/170173139849801357...

and plenty of others I'm too lazy to pull up.

Considering that as paid games, none of them have ads in them, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make since they can't meaningfully join in to a boycott of IronSource and Unity ads by virtue of not using them in the first place?

This letter is about turning off Unity Ads. From you list, none of the games I’ve played (Among Us, GRIS, Hollow Knight, Ori) use Unity Ads.

Why would they join this letter?

Only Among Us in this list uses Unity.

I updated the list. I’m sorry - Stardew Valley is not unity, and “Nintendo” wasn’t specific enough to referring to some of their Pokémon projects. (I also added everything after “Pokémon” in the list after this comment and they all use Unity.)

Nintendo does not develop the Pokemon games - Game Freak does.

Nintendo, however, does publish some of the Pokemon games and does partially own the Pokemon IP through The Pokemon Company.

I am pretty sure Hollow Knight uses Unity.

He edited his post.

Originally it was "Stardew Valley, Among Us, Nintendo, etc."

Nintendo has used Unity for certain titles. Off the top of my head I can think of the Pokemon Sinnoh remakes, Super Mario Run, I think the fire emblem mobile game too?

tell you when the (relatively speaking) peanut gallery joins in?

You may not have heard of them but each of these companies have a billion downloads in their portfolio minimum. This is massive that they all rejected this.
