    I hate Nintendo too. But they are not wrong in this case. Unstable politically motivated trade conditions raise prices.

      except it was not nintendo that paid the tariffs, it was the customer, and they profit based on percentage of cost, so the customers paid them more, and then they complained to get payed again for having to profit more, which is paid for with tax dollars,

      so basically you paid for the privilege of paying them more.

        But nintendo didnt vote for the tarrifs either. The American taxpayers did, and thus, they got what they voted for. Or in reality, they got what they were too lazy to vote agaisnt since over 1/3 of the population didnt bother.
