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.

    We should do a blanket class action lawsuit against all corporations throughout history, demanding all the wages they owe, refunds for the prices they gouged, and the artificially created inflation.

    Or they could settle by paying for worldwide universal healthcare and UBI.

      Fuck settling. Every time we’ve settled with the capitalists they just claw everything back 10 years later. We need to permanently make them extinct.

      While we’re at it, shut down construction of data centers to an approved list. List should prioritize centers that maintain % renewable, low infra noise, and contributions back to the local power grid. Also, AI-based tax for the power grid. Lastly, tax any sales on “agentic” software to help service the humans it displaced.
