    Classic Nintendo! Please do buy their products as you did before while complaining.

    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”?

    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.

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

    They aren’t wrong but you can apply this exact argument to them. Nintendo willingly paid tariff prices so therefore they shouldn’t get their money back

    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.

    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.
