Devil's advocate take: was the phone app the only way to ease your anxiety, or was it just an option that was recommended due to the trend of trying to have our phone do everything?

The best way to "stand up for yourself" when a company that sells a luxury product is to not buy said product. In which case this tariff nonsense doesn't affect you. More people were affect by the increase in the cost of groceries and gas than the cost of a Switch 2.

IMO I think it's weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the latter though). I don't think it's realistic to expect these companies to reimburse customers, because logistically it'd be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax bracket. Unfortunately that won't happen.

"operating at a loss" =/= "low revenue"
