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.

Heh. Yeah right. They passed that tariff cost on to you but no way will they pass the refund on.

    Good luck with that. It may take ten years and result in a huge settlement which each individual consumer will get less than a dollar back. The lawyers will certainly make the most.

    They won’t get less than a dollar; they’ll get a coupon toward additional purchase from the sued company.

    Class action is only about punishing the company and not minding that lawyers will pocket all the proceeds.
