      They were literally forced to fix/replace broken joycons for free because of the drift issue. In case you weren’t aware. I sent two sets away to be fixed, all expenses paid.

      That costs them lots of money.

        Nobody fucked with that. Everyone just bought whatever new limited edition colors were out and moved on with their lives.

          Lots of people fucked with that. I sent them in for repair twice, I know other people that did. Why spend $80 when they’ll fix their garbage equipment for free?

            Yet more people just bought new ones, put the old ones in the box, and returned them for a refund while in the free return period, citing them as faulty.

            I don’t own a switch but I know I would’ve done that at a large chain electronic shop rather than bother with the repair rigamarole.

        Probably made more from every schmuck who didn’t know they would be replaced for free and bought extra.
