Why is it on Nintendo to give the refund? Trump charged the tariffs, get your refund from him.
Because Nintendo is getting refunds from the US government, they’re refusing to pass that on to consumers
The refund they are getting isn’t equal to the amount people paid for in tariffs
Then refund as much as you practically can. No one expects Nintendo to refund every penny. They won’t be able to get a refund to someone who paid cash for something at a game store. But at a minimum they can refund anyone that bought from them directly. And they can work with their distributors to refund everyone else that bought online.
Hell, companies should treat any tariff refunds as dirty money. After all, these tariffs were explicitly ruled illegal. This money was stolen from people. Any company getting a tariff refund should make sure they don’t keep a penny of it. Refund as much as you can to your customers. If there’s not enough refunded, make people as whole as you can. If you have more refund than customers you can track down, donate the remaining money to a charity. Donate to a food bank or other organizations that help ordinary people.
No one expects them to be perfect. They do expect them to try.
Show me any company that gave customers money back lol
UPS

That’s because customers paid the tariffs directly. UPS didn’t have to use their own money.
Costco is also getting sued like Nintendo because they aren’t offering refunds.
you seriously taking up for a company like nintendo? on principle, that’s grimy. beyond that, i work in coffee which was heavily impacted by the import tariffs. because of the money that had to be paid back out, the importers that had to pay elevated costs that they then passed on to their customers are paying some of the monies they’ve received back out to those customers. if for no other reason than because everyone had to share in the pain for money to keep circulating, so everyone should be able to partake in the money being paid out.
I agree everyone should be getting refunds on the tariffs. I just think it should be the US government issuing the refunds instead of expecting a profit-driven business to give up profits.
