The lawsuit targets duties that forced Switch 2 accessory price hikes and delayed preorders last year.

    Absolute fucking shit article.

    Read the fucking lawsuit before ya compose and post your feeble excuse for journalism, Mr. Tom Shardware.

    The total tariffs globally collected are around $200B but Nintendo is only seeking the return of their chunk plus attorney fees.

    argues that those tariffs were unlawfully imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) and seeks the return of the collected duties “with interest,” along with attorney fees and the reprocessing of its import entries.

    Simply amazing lol. Certainly tired of all the “winning”.

          Yeah but that doesn’t mean that if a corporation is doing it it’s evil.

    I’m going to be honest I have trouble believing Nintendo sold anywhere close to $200 billion dollars worth of switch 2s.
