    Nintendo also voluntarily paid the tariffs as well then. Why are they fighting to get it back?

      They have IP people are emotionally invested in. Disney is also a piece of shit company but ppl still support them too. People are fucking stupid ass children with zero sense of responsibility.

      Because all companies are pieces of shit. There is no such thing as a moral business. lol if there seems to be, they just have a good marketing and PR team. And people fall for it.

        You can accept every company is only out for their bottom line and still prefer the companies that are offering you the best deal. Companies that are actively making games more expensive, locked down and requiring a paid subscription for online play are not offering you the best deal right now.

        Yes, I’m aware. Most the pieces of shit usually don’t also insult their customer base on a regular basis on top of being pieces of shit though and then still get constant business.

          These day? Yeah they do. Sony is in the fuck around stage as we speak. Microsoft was long into the Find Out stage.

          Valve’s credit is that they are pretty good at not saying the quiet parts out loud. But that should have been the bare minimum.

    Yeah, I’m never giving Nintendo another cent.

    I didn’t buy a Switch 2, but the people who did are Nintendo’s biggest fans, and Nintendo have just told them in no uncertain terms “Haha, get fucked, loser”.

    Time to learn how to pirate on my Switch 1.

    Nintendo is legally right, but that doesn’t mean they are morally right.
    They’re always very tone deaf when it comes to communicating with their fans. They could have used this opportunity to gift people 50% off coupons on their digital store or some shit like that which would cost them nothing while gaining them community fervor.
    But time and time again, they’ve shown they’re the ones who dictate how they operate and consumers can either consume it or go away. Very conservative and a bit archaic if you ask me.
    A company who’s products i would happily pirate, though have no interest in anymore.

      Its a stupid legal argument too. Why can’t we just say “Nintendo chose to pay the tarriff cost, they don’t deserve a refund”?

      Yes and no. It took a law suit to overturn the tariff. So a lawsuit against passing the tarrif cost to customers makes sense. Customers can say they only paid it because it was the law at the time.

    Hey dumbass, voluntarily can have two flavors, willingly and begrudgingly.

    I love paying more for shit for no fucking reason. The mental gymnastics these chuckle fucks use is astounding.

    Mario Kart aint that good people. Nintendo players at this point have a kink for being disrespected and humiliated.

    People wanted a switch, they paid the only price that was made available to them. They voluntarily bought a switch, they were forced to pay higher prices to do it.

    Nintendo is a shit company and their fans are cattle. But people did buy Switch 2 at higher prices. So no refunds.

      My thinking exactly. This is probably going to get downvoted, but nobody forced people to buy Nintendo products. Owning video games is not a human right. US capitalism permits Nintendo to charge whatever they want for their goods. If you don’t like it, don’t buy the games. That is your right.
