      Thumbnail shows JoyCon2, which have not been reported to experience drift…?

      For Nintendo this is likely the equivalent of having to pay 50 euros for whatever.

      Good maybe someone higher up at the company will finally make the decision to switch to Hall Effect or TMR for their sticks. Absolutely ridiculous they are still using potentiometer sticks prone to drift with how much they’re charging for Joy Cons and Pro controllers.

      Wish it was more so they would just do non drift sticks going forward

      And why is the switch 2 joycons used as the photo?

      Pretty disingenuous don’t you think ?

      Seems like switch 2 has been doing great in all ways and yet still receiving clickbaity posts and hate 💀

      this is basically pennies to them. they made a like 7 billion last year, its all performative on france’s part.

      it’s still insane to me that Nintendo got off scott free for this issue in the US. planned obsolescence is legal I guess

      So, 6 years later they are fined pennies compared to what they make in a single year. Devastating blow, I’m sure they’ll really learn their lesson from that one
