None of that is going to customers who overpaid, is it?
They sue over this but not when ICE used their Pokemon IP on their videos?
That’s 2 different companies (Nintendo vs The Pokemon Company). But also yeah, obviously they have much more to gain when it’s about $200B.
I have to suspect it’s 200b yen, even though the article states “$200 billion”. The later with a 15% tarrif would imply $1.33 trillion in US sales in the last year, which I highly doubt
According to news sites, the US government took in about $166 billion, although I’m also seeing $175 billion floating around. CBP is claiming that they can’t comply with the refund order as quickly as they want because of technological and manpower excuses. They’re claiming that the large number of refunds and the current manpower is limiting their ability to quickly issue these refunds.
Manpower? They could use the ICE idiots as manpower
You expect them to be able to read numbers?
Sadly they had no legal standing on that due to parody law. I’m sure they would have of they could have.
Music rights are notoriously convoluted. Long story short, that’s not their department.
I hope they both lose.
I just hope this gets more huge companies to start suing. I’ve already accepted that I won’t see any of that money again so I’d at least love to see how far this goes.
I’m going to be honest I have trouble believing Nintendo sold anywhere close to $200 billion dollars worth of switch 2s.
It’s not about sales, it’s about how many units they had to get through customs.
Oh trump. What have you wrought?
Absolutely nothing for him. They’ll tie it up in the courts for years until the next guy has to deal with it.
I thought the tariff total collected by pedo Trump and his fash buddies was “only” $176 Billion?
And all of that was at the cost of Nintendo, didn’t you know? They single handedly took on that cost so Americans wouldn’t have to spend a cent more. They didn’t even increase their products by more than 35% in relation to an increase of 10%.
