Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.
“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.
I wonder why they chose Nintendo. To base this class action off of. They could have chosen any company to go after, like Walmart or Apple.
Because Walmart doesn’t sue their customers for buying and improving upon their products.
Nintendo bites the hand that feeds. Treats their biggest fans like piles of subhuman garbage. Short of Nestlé, very few companies deserve a taste of their own medicine more than Nintendo. Fuck them.
Edit: And they’ve been this way for as along as I can remember. Back in the early 90s, Nintendo tried to sue to stop Game Genie from becoming a thing. Sega, on the other hand, made it an officially licensed product! Nintendo has never had any chill. I wish they were the ones that lost the console war instead of Sega. They don’t deserve to be as popular and beloved as they are.
…and Sega isn’t a console anymore because of bad decisions.
I don’t think this is a good argument for your point
Bad decisions about the cost and timing of console releases and failure to support older systems. Nothing to do with IP management or legal decisions.
Because Nintendo have been litigious cunts the past few years and it’s poetic justice?
Because they’re gamers, not Walmart customers. It’s literally the first two words
