    I mean, it’s not a car. The joycon are expensive, but not THAT expensive. Still, they absolutely had to provide replacements to stick issues (which they did, to their credit).

    It’s extra important on this run, because the new ones are even more expensive. They better last.

    Also, I’m writing responses to things people say, not excuses. Companies aren’t football teams, I don’t need to root for or against any of them.

      They only provided replacements after the a class action lawsuit and specifically only replaced them in North America for the longest time. That was on July 2020. Five years later and the flaw is still there on brand new devices. There is nothing to applaud or give credit for.

      Edit: to say that $80 is not expensive is to be completely detached from reality. 28% of Americans have savings of less than $1,000.

        Hi. Let’s talk about how the sentence “the joycon are expensive” turns into “to say that $80 is not expensive”.

        I give you the floor to kickstart this roundtable on why online conversation sucks and everybody is a complete dick when you talk to them on the Internet.
