      DHS used Pokemon to advertise ICE. Gotta catch 'em all.

    Don’t. Just because a conflict exists doesn’t mean you need to pick a side.

  over 1000 companies are also suing the US government

  I think it‘s past 2000 at this point and growing. This is huge.

    It’s big, but it’s not really impressive. It’s just for restitution, because the tariffs were already ruled illegal. This is just suing to see how much will be returned. It’s interesting, but it doesn’t effect much. It’d be nice if the money went to the consumers that paid the increase in prices, but we know that isn’t going to happen.

  Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.

    I think that Nintendo did not pass on the tariff to consumers in this situation meaning that they have literal monetary damages. At least, that’s the rumor.

  The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but it’s funny to see them fight.

  Likely the only time I’m rooting for Nintendo in a lawsuit.

  Evil vs. Evil.

  Whoever wins... we lose.

    Fascists executing people on the street = evil

    Company that sells stuff that never goes on sale = evil

      Nah they do far worse than that. Killing emulators and fan projects and all that.

    Hey now, with Nintendo I at least get fun games and they don’t bomb me.

      Just don’t pirate their shit to avoid provoking them. They take that so seriously they might consider it.

    Nintendo evil for locking down emulators, using it’s market power to smash small indie etc etc.

    US evil for raping children, killing them, kills civilians, destroying millions of lives, bombing other countries, deporting families, stealing tax pater money etc etc.

    Yeah, good comparison you idiot…

      The emulators that Nintendo killed were being developed by morons.

      They traded ROMs and used official an official dev kit without even hiding it. There is zero chance that any software company would not bury them ASAP.

  Heh… It will be a very very long time before any of these companies see a thin dime of that tariff money back…if ever.

  • athatet@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    No no. They will give the money back to the corps. The people who spent that money won’t see it.

    The point might be injunctions and judicial record, they might know they’re not getting their money back.
