By their own logic, they don’t have a right to tariff refunds either.

I hate comments like this. Nintendo paid an illegal tax, so they deserve a refund. Consumers got screwed by their government, not Nintendo.
Also, if you think the tariffs, AI, threat of more tariffs, Iran war, etc. haven’t increases the cost of operations for businesses then you’re not paying attention to current events.

I hate comments like this. Mega corps do not need you to defend them. Fuck them. They can afford to give some of that money back.

I’m not defending anyone, just explaining how the law is working in this scenario as people seems to have lost the ability to understand simple taxes (tariffs).
