Nintendo also voluntarily paid the tariffs as well then. Why are they fighting to get it back?
Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit.

That damn good question and I used that for my argument in court.

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
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 day ago
This, though I would rephrase and say that this makes them very wrong.

I do not understand why people keep supporting that piece of shit company
FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
It’s nostalgia, and Honestly I’m sick of Nintendo too
shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
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.

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.

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.

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.raze2012@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
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”?

Classic Nintendo! Please do buy their products as you did before while complaining.
DigDoug@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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”.

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 are the biggest cunts. Possibly the worst video game company. They consistently take the route of evil scumbag, even when that would take more effort and waste more money than just doing nothing.
How can I make Nintendo lose money? I don’t want to play any of their games.

I can only assume that people who think Nintendo are somehow worse than the likes of Sony and Microsoft have never looked at a single thing those companies have done that isn’t directly related to video games
luthis@lemmy.nz 1 day ago
Tough competition. Between strictly video game companies though, it’s a hard choice
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Stop playing triple A games all together. They are all shitty companies who mistreat their employees.
luthis@lemmy.nz 1 day ago
Well that’s pretty easy to do. Most games I play are indy games or from smaller studios. They are objectively better anyway.

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

Sonic Racing Crossworlds, despite its IP blowjobs, is a much better arcade kart racer than Mario Kart World.

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.

As an actual switch, I do enjoy consentual bottoming from time to time, but actual actual abuse, get rekt.

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

I know they make some great IP, but come on folks, look at how shitty they treat all of us. We have to stop giving them money.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
I have a saying that I keep to.
“Nintendo. Not even pirated.”
I refuse to help maintain the popularity of their IP, even through piracy. Everyone should stop buying their shit until they learn to treat their players with decency. It’s not gonna happen, but I can dream.

To be fair I went to a job interview at NoA once, and if that’s anything to go off of then they treat each other like crap, too. It just seems to be the culture over there.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 day ago
Care to give any examples? I’ve been through some shit interviews too, wondering how bad they are now.
raze2012@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
NoJ is great and you’re basically set for life if you get in.
NoA is mostly contractors, if you’re not high management or extremely specialized consulting, it’s no better than any other American AAA gaming studio. Really shows how culture and regulations keep companies honest.

Do they really though? Sure, it’s usually polished, but is anything they do more innovative, interesting, or good than what indies are doing (and at a small fraction of the cost to users)?

They treat the Japanese well and sell at discounted prices
