minus-squareA_Random_Idiot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up95·5 hours agothis is how stupid, self centered, petty, controlling, and anti-consumer, anti-fan Nintendo is. They’d rather incur the costs of running two assemblies side by side, than simply give everyone access to a means of easily repair their switch. They’d rather spend tons of extra money, than do anything beneficial for someone they arent forced by law to give it to.

And it’s extra dumb, because Nintendo is already the only ones not selling the console at close to cost in order to move more games. In hindsight, the breaking joycons look less like an accident and more like a plan.
