Use our IP to advertise fascism: I sleep
Fuck with our profits: I WAKESomeone used Nintendo IP to advertise fascism?
DHS used Pokemon to advertise ICE. Gotta catch 'em all.
Jesus Christ. Thank you for the context, I completely missed rhat
Posted by the Whitehouse twitter account, this is also a recent one, the DHS post was also real from a while back (no link but I’ve seen proof)
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…
Don’t. Just because a conflict exists doesn’t mean you need to pick a side.
More than 1000 companies also have sued 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.
The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but it’s funny to see them fight.
Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.
bread and circuses were free. unfortunately this is even worse.
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.
Switch 2s are cheaper in America than the Eurozone and the EU aren’t putting any new tariffs on Japan or Viernam, so they haven’t increased prices to account for tariffs. They pulled this off by getting a whole lot of Switch 2s into America before tariffs came into force.
I think Nintendo knows how important the US is to their bottom line so they’re willing to eat some shit before making a buck.
Isn’t that because EU prices include VAT?
Likely the only time I’m rooting for Nintendo in a lawsuit.
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.
