@ZikadaPrime I’m more concerned with Sony giving me a refund for the disc drive attachment I bought since they are killing physical media.

Didn't Xbox and Sony raise prices more than Nintendo because of the tariffs?
Will Sony and Microsoft also be giving refunds? 🤔

Nintendo says it is under no legal obligation to pass US tariff refunds back to gamers, asks court to dismiss class action lawsuit. ➡️ gamefile.news/p/nintendo-tar… Consumers "received exactly what they bargained and paid for" when buying price-hiked Nintendo goods last year.

@BaneWruse @NotSylviarill Who do you think the domestic importing company is? I beg you to go to college, take a critical thinking class. Anyways. Have a nice day. *mute

@LodossDX @NotSylviarill FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GOOGLE IT

HEY NINTENDO DEFENDERS, Are you still going to lick boots after they insult you like this?
You paid the sharifs, they’re keeping the refund.

Nintendo might be receiving a refund for the money it spent on U.S. tariffs, but it claims it's under no obligation to pass that money back to consumers — even though they paid higher prices for Switch 2 products. bit.ly/4bRH1lS

@LodossDX @NotSylviarill How are you too fucking stupid to Google. I’m not entertaining you disingenuous dumb fucks.
Yes they pay the tariffs, then they increase the cost accordingly to recoup losses, IN THE END WE PAY IT.
English
@mxtrmnd I beg you people to know the difference between a PR department and a court of law. Yeesh.
English
@BaneWruse @NotSylviarill Not really how it works. The company importing the supply is the one that pays the tariff. The cost is usually passed on to the consumer. Also, tariffs are still in place and Nintendo still has to pay them when importing systems, accessories etc.
English
@NotSylviarill - customers pay tariffs, not the business ( otherwise Nintendo wouldn't be able to sue)
- their documents say they ate SOME cost but not all, and increased cost worldwide to cover that loss ( again, this is why they sued)
- If nintendo is, then we are, since we paid it
English
The problem with people like this is 1. They condescendingly use the term “paradoxical”.
2. They add negatively to the overall discourse through omission. In this case the omission is that tariffs are still in place. Why would refunds happen at all of that was the case?
AJ McRaiders@AMcRaeJr
I BEG Y’ALL free yourself of this parasocial attachment to entertainment companies for better or worse. they will ALL always do what’s in their best interest. that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be openly good or evil, but it IS a relationship that entails an ongoing series of negotiations. they will always opt to do what they think they can get away with & THAT is our leverage as consumers. we are collectively in control of what that is. HEAVY on the *collective* because what YOU want isn’t always in line with what the MAJORITY even cares to want. y’all gotta stop taking everything so personal & actually speak with your wallet instead of just screaming at each other on social media.

@ZekeWhere I've gotten refunds from a few companies for charging me too much for whatever reason. One of them being my rental agency.
If this goes through somehow and they win against Nintendo it'll set a precedent that would be amazing for consumer protections.
English
I know it’s cool to hate Nintendo but is there a single company repaying consumers???
I haven’t seen proof of this anywhere and I don’t expect it to be the case lol

@TaroTheCerelean Problem for you is the article literally says that the increase is a temporary blip.

@mindinpanic @Kotaku Considering the Steam Deck is $800, it is actually.

@Kotaku $400 is apparently a killer deal for a nintendo console now

@wilsenal Yes? Sony wants a monopoly over the games industry. In terms of game industry revenue Nintendo is ranked 7th. Much worse players out there. Sony, tencent, Apple etc. Go try to beg Apple for a tariff refund lol
English
So the people who switched to the switch 2 because Sony said no more physical disc. You really thought Nintendo are customer friendly lol.

Problem with people like this guy is they don’t even know the stock price of Nintendo. This price here is the ADR price. Basically 1/4th the actual price.
Abdallah@AbdallahNATION
Nintendo refusing to refund consumers for tariff costs is a terrible look. They could’ve at least offered affected customers an eShop credit or some kind of goodwill gesture. Instead, they chose to squeeze fans and call it business as usual. $NTDOY at $11.00 btw 📉
English
@AbdallahNATION 1. Tariffs are still in place, Nintendo still has to pay them when importing systems.
2. Nintendo never said the launch price of the Switch 2 was due to tariffs.

@FrankLuntz Trump’s ill conceived tariffs are going to be biting hard working Americans in the ass for years to come.
English
Nintendo says consumers are not legally entitled to tariff refunds on products they’ve already bought.
The company’s core argument is straightforward: Nintendo or its retail partners set the final price, and buyers made a voluntary decision to pay it.

@ThornVaux @Polygon Logical fallacy. 80% of systems sold doesn’t mean that people owning those systems are buying physical games. All of the data shows that 80% of PS5 game sales are digital, regardless of what kind of PS5 most people have.
English
@Polygon Perhaps they should do a quick survey of the number of physical disks PS5 owners have. They may find that since about 80% of systems sold have a disk drive that a significant number actually have physical games and that there digital numbers are biased with PS+
English
PlayStation fans are still furious about physical discs, but new data proves Sony is right to kill them polygon.com/sony-fans-phys…

@VGamingJunkie @PenPlays_ You idiots act like tariffs aren’t still in place.
English
@PenPlays_ So Nintendo has no obligations to pay their customers back, but the government has every obligation to pay Nintendo back. Good to know Nintendo just wants to pocket their fans' money.
English
>Nintendo raises prices due to economic factors raising costs, using our money to cover their butts
>Factors no longer apply
>Ninty is refunded the money that forced them to raise costs
>Ninty feels entitled to the money that covered their butts anyway. Won't lower prices
Hmm...

Nintendo has requested a dismissal of the class action lawsuit against them, says it has no obligation to pass tariff refunds to consumers nintendoeverything.com/gamers-file-cl…
English
@oliver_drk @stephentotilo Prices don’t go up until September, so this lawsuit doesn’t apply to this announcement, plus Trump still has at least 15% tariffs in place on goods coming from Japan. Lawsuit will be thrown out.
English
@stephentotilo It's an interesting case because Nintendo explicitly mentioned tariffs when they increased prices for Nintendo Switch and peripherals, unlike Microsoft and Sony
English
NEW: Nintendo wants a court to dismiss a class action suit that argued it must pass its refunds for illegal US tariffs to consumers who paid more
"Plaintiffs are not entitled to a rebate simply because of intervening legal developments related to tariffs”

@chaotic_goblin1 @RinoTheBouncer Not Nintendo’s fault that the American people voted an economic idiot. The plaintiffs should go cry to Trump for their money back lol

@RinoTheBouncer How many more reasons will Nintendo provide me to not buy their stuff?

@cockamaymee @PpollingNumbers Nah, most people are tired of the extreme corruption of the MAGA party. That’s why Trump and his cronies are desperately trying to cheat.
English
@PpollingNumbers LOL! They polled a Harris +6 electorate when the actual result was Trump + 2 plus. Jackson’s internal is far more reliable than this mess. But whatever floats your mid summer boat I guess.
