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.
Because the companies are the ones that literally paid the tariffs and the gov doesn’t have records of how that burden was distributed, and thus couldn’t possibly enforce it.
In short, they’re completely unprepared for this situation they put themselves in.
