They sue over this but not when ICE used their Pokemon IP on their videos?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

nintendo only owns 1/3 of pokemon apparently, the other is gamefrek/masuda, i forgot the 3rd one.

[-] NotSafeForWorld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 36 minutes ago

The Pokémon Company owns the other third

[-] SmokedBillionaire@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Sadly they had no legal standing on that due to parody law. I'm sure they would have of they could have.

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 27 points 19 hours ago

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.

[-] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 11 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] oddpixel@lemmy.wtf 4 points 13 hours ago

They'd be awfully upset if they could read what you just suggested.

[-] brillotti@lemmy.world 85 points 22 hours ago

None of that is going to customers who overpaid, is it?

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 46 points 22 hours ago

Are you mad? The poor capitalists need that 200 billion! Otherwise their chrildren won't be able to afford a 3rd yacht, is that seriously what you expect??? You make me sick!

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 12 points 20 hours ago

I didn't overpay (because not living in the US) so take what I write with grain of salt but at this point I'm just happy the US gets their ass whooped. Yeah, it sucks for the people living there, but it's necessary.

am american, can confirm. americans as a whole are dumb as fuck, the only chance of them learning lessons is through direct personal pain

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 18 hours ago

Did Nintendo raise prices?

[-] brillotti@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Nintendo games on the Switch 2 are generally $20 higher than their Switch 1 counterparts.

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

That's not because of tariffs though.

[-] MetalSlugX@piefed.social 23 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Absolute fucking shit article.

Read the fucking lawsuit before ya compose and post your feeble excuse for journalism, Mr. Tom Shardware.

The total tariffs globally collected are around $200B but Nintendo is only seeking the return of their chunk plus attorney fees.

Huh?

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Of course you do he’s a Nintendo IP

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

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.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 5 points 21 hours ago

argues that those tariffs were unlawfully imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) and seeks the return of the collected duties "with interest," along with attorney fees and the reprocessing of its import entries.

Simply amazing lol. Certainly tired of all the "winning".
