Ugh… i cant believe im rooting for nintendo
If you told me several year ago that I’d be cheering for Nintendo in a lawsuit…
over 1000 companies are also suing the US government
I think it‘s past 2000 at this point and growing. This is huge.
It’s big, but it’s not really impressive. It’s just for restitution, because the tariffs were already ruled illegal. This is just suing to see how much will be returned. It’s interesting, but it doesn’t effect much. It’d be nice if the money went to the consumers that paid the increase in prices, but we know that isn’t going to happen.
Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.
I think that Nintendo did not pass on the tariff to consumers in this situation meaning that they have literal monetary damages. At least, that’s the rumor.
bread and circuses were free. unfortunately this is even worse.
Evil vs. Evil.
Whoever wins… we lose.
Nintendo evil for locking down emulators, using it’s market power to smash small indie etc etc.
US evil for raping children, killing them, kills civilians, destroying millions of lives, bombing other countries, deporting families, stealing tax pater money etc etc.
Yeah, good comparison you idiot…
Hey now, with Nintendo I at least get fun games and they don’t bomb me.
Just don’t pirate their shit to avoid provoking them. They take that so seriously they might consider it.
Fascists executing people on the street = evil
Company that sells stuff that never goes on sale = evil
Nah they do far worse than that. Killing emulators and fan projects and all that.
Heh… It will be a very very long time before any of these companies see a thin dime of that tariff money back…if ever.
No no. They will give the money back to the corps. The people who spent that money won’t see it.
The point might be injunctions and judicial record, they might know they’re not getting their money back.
