Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.

“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.

    That’s exactly why I said monetary in the context of these tariffs. You’re not reading what I’ve actually written, your putting a lot of added meaning that isn’t there. String up the traitors, but suing the government or company for tariff money is not going to work.

      Not with that attitude.

      Do you know how much money is lost by workers every year on “use it or lose it” vacation systems? Its hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. And do you know what you can do to get that money back? Launch a fucking lawsuit.

      Do not give up. Do not become complicit in your apathy. Fight in ALL venues, be that taxes, courts, or in the streets.

        None of that has to do with tariffs. You’re still not reading what I wrote. Work on reading comprehension and then come back.
