Why did Nintendo instantly cave? They didn't even attempt a lawsuit.
if they tried to fight it they'd risk getting blacklisted from the entire EU market.
>>740227675Maybe acombination of the request not being completely absurd and the EU being a big enough of a market to better not antagonize their customers.
>>740227675Americans look at this and be like>...WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN PRO-CONSUMER REGULATIONS WORK? FUCKING COMMIES
>>740227675>they should waste their money fighting this because....
because that battery only has a capacity of 19 WATT HOURS with a power draw of 10 WATT HOURSthey'd get class action raped for calling this a gaming handheld, that's two fucking hours of battery life
If the EU is too good for Nintendo, why don't they make their own console?
>>740227675a lawsuit to whom? 27 countries?
>>740228031Thank you early adopters for beta-testing the Switch 2 for our sake!
>>740227675Hilarious that they ONLY do it for the eu instead of everyone.Bigger scumbag company than even apple.
>>740228103Thirdy seethe lol
Hon hon hon everything must be powered by cheese
Long live the EU
>>740227675Because it's not actually a big deal and making the changes is easier and cheaper than trying their luck in court.
>>740228103Why would they? Other places dont have laws forcing them to do this.
>>740228179sounds concerning
>>740227675What lawsuit? Its not america its an eu law they cant just sue them because they dont want to follow it and what eu court would ever rule in their favor anyways?
>>740228294Why wouldn't they? They have to create the tooling andmanufacturing to add this anyways, might as well get a W and do it worldwide like apple did. Probably cheaper anyways to do so. The question should be, why WOULDN'T they, and we both know the answer to that, and that is money and hoping you buy another one.
>>740227675>Americans when their friend the multibillion company has to lose profits
>>740227675EU won...
>>740228420Why did you ask a question and then answer it yourself in your own post?
Imagine fucking your loyal fanbase so hard that the fucking government has to step in to stop you. This is their 'thanks' for you making the Switch 1 the best-selling console of all time.
>>740228495>What is a anthypophoraNGMI
>>740228103>>740228420What makes you think they won't do it WW? A made up scenario in your head to get mad at?
>>740228031kill yourself retard
>>740229223cope, my phone has greater battery capacity and it's more efficient too
>>740227957>>740228475>altercation between a Japanese company and a European government>immediately thinks of AmericansRent free
I don't think we've talked enough about how EU bureaucracy is 100% responsible for inflating prices.
>>740229549The more anti-America some online retard is, the higher of an opinion they have of America. In this case, it's because Japan is a vassal of America, so anything Japan does, it reflects on America. As if Europe isn't also a vassal of America, in their view.
>>740229801No wars tho
>>740227675Because even they know they're scamming people with their shoddy planned obsolescence products.
>>740228043That's a good question. For some reason EU countries have been extremely sluggish with a lot of things. It is only now that there is starting to be talks about the overreliance on american IT corporations and services, etc.
>>740230812Is there evidence of the Switch dying en masse and forcing people to buy new ones? Does Nintendo have a reputation for bricking hardware? What the fuck is wrong with you faggots just making shit up?
>>740228179>Long live the EUThey will join the Third World within 50 years at the current pace of replacement migration.
>>740230923Would it even be monetarily viable to release a continent-centric console? I don't think many americans would find Ubisoft's Frenchbox appealing.
>>740228103>Hilarious that they ONLY do it for the eu instead of everyone.It might eventually be rolled out worldwide. All iPhones now have USB-C connectors because of EU regulations.
>>740230957Their sticks keep drifting or breaking off! The N64, the 3DS, the Switch, I don't have that issue with any other fucking joystick.
>>740231109Yeah but that mindbroke corpo so hard that they raised worldwide prices for everything by 30% as revenge.
>>740230812It's less planned obsolescence and more that lithium batteries are an insane fire hazard when not checked on regularly, so they should be easy to remove and dispose of.
>>740231194>LEAVE THE CORPORATION ALONE SO... THEY UHHHHHHH... MAYBE WON'T RAPE US IN THE ASS AS HARD AS THEY COULD!
>>740228263What about the already sold Switch 2s?
>>740227675Lawsuit so what, so they don't add a removable plastic panel on the back of the thing? Sounds like the most trivial change ever.
>>740231063To be fair, there's nothing anyone at all finds appealing on the Xbox American console either.
>>740228043This is literally all the EU does: litigate. They're simply a museum/theme park at this point and all they can do is restrict access to their market.
>>740230812>planned obsolescencebut the switch 1 still works great after 8 years. my 3ds still work fine to this day, actually I checked it recently for some nostalgia and after 3 years clapped she still had 30% battery. They might have jewed people with the joycons but they don't do that for the batteries.
>>740227824This, the EU has the balls to do what no other entity does, stand up to corpos and put them in their place
>>740230957It's not about any product in particular, rechargeable batteries are consumable products in general and as such devices which use them should be built with replacement in mind. Companies surely know this but still make products where replacing the battery isn't straightforward for a non-technical layman. Sometimes it's not straightforward for anyone in general either, because they do outright hostile things like gluing the battery into the product which makes removal difficult and risks damage both to the device and the battery (which is a fire / explosion hazard).
>>740232541I wonder why everyone hates them and wants to kill them all? Maybe corpos ain't gonna take it much longer.
>>740232259they need to be sure that the new system keep the battery in place, and also be sure that opening the electronics to anybody doesn't facilitate piracy. I wouldn't be surprised if the new model is slightly wider.
>>740231018That american kid on vacation in europe? Good for her.
I think the new law is a step by step plan, with new products introduced every year. I wouldn't be surprised if controllers are back to good old AA batteries soon too.
>>740230745Literally Russia and Ukraine bro. Putin isn't just in some feud with his neighbour. The EU was encroaching the Belarusian sphere with their 2014 US/EU backed coups, and Putin felt like "it's now or never" as Ukrainians and Russians are starting to get indoctrinated by foreign influence.We only hear our version of the story. The US version is even somewhat different, and Trump was clearly on Russia's side, at least for a while. He even said something that made it sound like the invasion was a US led plan, because he said "we thought it would be quick like Venezuela, and it wasn't!" Because the US is realizing that the EU is turning into United States of Europe.As a member of an EU country it also feels that way. Just had elections and the first news is that the new ministers are going to see the other EU ministers to begin their work. Domestic politics are taking a backseat to EU global politics.
>>740233243They don't want any plastic production. The controller of the future will be made of bamboo.
>>740231063Japs had PC Engine just for their little market lol
>>740233243>I wouldn't be surprised if controllers are back to good old AA batteries soon too.dear god nofuck xbox controllers on batteries
>>740230923Europe focused on other aspects of tech while America focused on services.>it is only now that there is starting to be talks about the overreliance on american IT corporations and servicesThis dynamic isn't going to change anytime soon. Who's ready to drop 500 billion euros just to get their foot in the door to take on Microsoft and NVIDIA? Mind you both companies clear $200 billion annually each. Let's not even consider the prospect of challenging the entirety of America's Big Tech arena. And how long are you willing to burn money and see no progress just for the promise of digital sovereignty or whatever the buzzword of the day is, especially after you're past this extremely temporary point of European "nationalist" fervor?Let's put it this way. Changs have no choice but to use Windows and Steam.
>>740228179The EU is pure evil but blind chicken, broken clock etc.
>>740229370Your phone also cost $1,000, burns as hot as a stove when trying to play anything that isn't gacha games and has a few hours battery life (or less) if you play games on anything besides minimal setting.
>>740227675imagine being able to just swap battery to double your portable mode.unthinkable
>>740234932my phone also has a fan, its cpu completely rapes the switch 2 and is more efficient due to using better siliconthe switch 2 is a gaming console that's meant to make money through software sales and it's fucking losing on battery and screen to a phone
Because you can already replace batteries on the 3DS/Wii U. This isn't anything new
>>740234658>Europe focused on other aspects of tech[citation needed]
>>740227675Probably because having your products blacklist from sales for being anti consumer in an entire global region isn't worth "winning a lawsuit"
>>740233486
>>740232541This. They'd fine them $100,000, which is pretty serious. Nintendo would never fiscally recover.
>>740229801>>740233486Thank you for your take Hanz from Berlin oblast.
>>740227675The EU doesn't have American tier bootlickers who'll burn down the government for inconveniencing corporations. The EU knows corporations want to access that delicious EU market, so they leverage that market to get concessions for consumers. China does it too. Actually now that I think of it, the US is the only country where the government puts corporations before consumers. How does a nation become so buckbroken?
>>740227675Under doug boweser they were very liberal and faggy. Reminder that he take credit for all the dei shit. Hopefully under the new chick we head back center
>>740227675>this is a bad thing toddlers are beyond bootlicking
>>740239417Lost my fucking glasses. *Doug bowser takes credit
>>740227675Because they're a sensible company that only sues when it's reasonable. Name any "frivolous" lawsuit they've ever filed I'll explain why they're actually based.
>>740239158*ban them from doing business whatsoever in the EU for non-compliance
>>740227675Because they're pro consumers
>>740229549It's not an altercation. The government and a company are not equal partners in some sort of deal, it's at most a discussion between descisionmakers and (one of the) stakeholders of their decision they will make regardless. I know this must be tough to understand for someone living in a billionaire-run oligarchy
>>740227675>Why did Nintendo instantly cave? They didn't even attempt a lawsuit.Because it turns out, they are not mentally retarded like Apple.
>>740232967The EU does 1 good thing for every 5 bad things. That's why a lot of people hate the EU, but we still get the occasional good news
>>740239751We're seeing this in NYC recently where after Mamdani took office a bunch of rock-fucking-stupid corporate executives and real estate slumlords were pissed that they weren't getting meetings with the new mayor, things they shouldn't have regardless because they aren't relevant to the office in any way. Unironically glory to the New York caliphate of Mamdani
>>740227675We don't sue people in the Europe, it's an amerimutt thing.
>>740239891Nah that muslim retard is screwing up new york. I know people that have lived there for 20-30 years packing up and moving over how bad it's getting
So if the EU isn't terrible, why'd the boomers spend so much time fighting it?Wait a minute. Why was I listening to boomer opinions about anything?
We need country flags
>>740233486Cardboard ayatollah status?

>>740240604The eu sounds nice until you remember they force immigration and their mono culture on you.
>>740240719>force immigrationThe chud parties of EU are setting up immigrant concentration camps in third world countries as we speak> mono cultureWhat mono culture, Ode to joy?
>>740240016You know retards, I'm afraid, that dude balanced the budget instantly just by taxing all the slumlords on property they aren't currently living in
>>740240604>can't even drive a perfectly functioning car from 15 years agoI hate the EU, it's a satanist death cult.>>740240923Globalism. Every single fucking big city is the exact same. Milan looks like an abandoned Italian colony in Africa, I'm not going to visit my brother in that shithole, it's depressing.Fuck the EU for pushing this shit. The sooner that pedo cult crumbles, the better.
>>740240923The mono-culture of "a global currency and free public transport within the EU", the latter of which Great Britain learned they didn't have access to anymore the hard way because Nigel Farage thought a trade deal with the US would magically materialize after seceding from the EU
>>740241343Lol that's not what happened. You brown retards are as dumb as the jeets
>>740241593And instantly gave away you were just hot air, good talk
>>740241640No dude. It's not "hot air". He taxed all the middle class and neighboring districts and somehow this is "good". At least admit you aren't muslim or a jeet as well.
>>740241956>jeet brown jeet brown jeet brown how dare he tax the wealthyYawn
>>740242013The middle class is not "wealthy". So are you a jeet/muslim or not? It's important as it can show if you're using in group bias for your weird faggy love of that man.
>>740242416You're too fixated on brown people and on shoving the financial window of Mamdani's taxes lower than it actually is, quit posting like a federal agent.
>>740240369/int/ has flags, but everyone just gets accused of being a jeet anyway.
>>740238161ASML. Nokia. SAL. It's still nowhere near as big as the US or China, obviously.
>>740242517I'm not a glowie nor a jew. I say this with friends and family that used to live there. Many of them are going to texas or other large areas in turn of these retarded people and policies.
>>740236424lmao aren't you ashamed to lie like this all day long?
>>740241502>can't even drive a perfectly functioning car from 15 years agoKek what are you schizo rambvling about?
>>740242647Dude either IS brown and doesn't know anything or he's a subversive Jew. Just ignore him.
>>740240604>regulations>good
>>740228294>Why would they?Because maintaining multiple SKU's of a product is more expensive.
>>740242647>I say this with friends and family that used to live there. Many of them are going to texasThey're not middle class if they're going to fucking Texas, they're rich cunts moving to a state with little or no regulation because Mamdani is taxing the shit out of them and they can't bear to part with a few thousand dollars more a year out of their tens or hundreds of thousands.>shift blue a bit>immediately flee like a bedbug to a perma-red stateLolworthy. Maybe they should go to Missouri or Tennessee where the poor keep voting for more smog and to get fucked in the ass harder because they'll happily put up with any hopelessness and punishment if it means some beaner is getting it twice as hard. Whether they actually are getting it twice as hard or not.
>>740242773where's the lie?
>>740242569well yeah VPNs and proxies do work on 4chan
>>740243078It's the same thing as when horse toothed /pol/acks and /int/ards would call you Chinese for disagreeing with them, the ire just shifted over to Indians because there must always be a Lich King.
>>740242873Yup>>740243045
>>740227675Nintendo only files lawsuits that are enforceable within Japan's retarded legal system, because they know they'd instantly get laughed out of court otherwise.
>>740243170desu actual Chinese shill threads were a thing
>>740242873>>740243171Don't blow your back out sucking your own cock, anon, giving yourself automatic win conditions for a gay internet argument so you don't have to take the ego blow of losing is ironically really bad for you intellectually.
>>740242864All non-new diesels are banned from the city. Can't even fix your old car if the issue is "major".
>>740243268No anon, no offense but you didn't answer my earlier question. It does matter if you're a muslim or jeet. Texas also isn't expensive or rich. You just want to prop up that muslim retard and that's fine. But there's a reason why prospects and people are leaving in mass.
>>740243378Browns, and muslims just vote for each other regardless of the situation or politics. It's sad
>>740228043actually france was a serious computer manufacturer very early on until there was american undermining in late 80s and 90sso a hardware industry in europe wasn't a pipe dream at the time
>>740243438>>740243378Pace yourself so you don't blow your load immediately, it's not a race.
>>740242991>Regulations BAD because right-wing propaganda told me so
>>740243518regulations bad because they never fucking work my favorite example of EU regulation fiasco is Germany arguing with Turkey over "national trademark" (or however the fuck it's called) over fucking kebab
>>740239417>. Hopefully under the new chick we head back centerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgWz3gixargnot happening bro
>>740243518Regulations bad because my boss can't put rat shit in canned food, ignore worker safety requirements, leave all the machinery to rot and become an explosion or fire hazard, and massively undercut worker wages if he's forced to follow "rules."
>>740243612>They never workExcept for>Enviromental regulations>Workers not getting killd en masse anymore>Workers not getting maimed in high numbers anymore>Cooperations putting rat shit in food anymoreStfu you retarded /pol/ack and go back to your containment board

>>740243045>punish compliance and productivity with higher taxes>reward scroungers, addicts and criminals with more free shitit's genius, this is why NY is such an amazing and safe place to live and work, so many of America's best and brightest are flocking there to take advantage of Mamdani's policies. I actually can't believe how many of my successful friends from places like Texas are packing up and moving to NY, how are they going to handle the influx of talent?
>>740244138>punish compliance and productivity with higher taxes>reward scroungers, addicts and criminals with more free shitBut enough about Blasio and Adams, we're talking about Mamdani.
>>740227675The fuck is there to sue? Is Nintendo going to try argue that the law is unconstitutional? You can't sue a law
>>740244728OP is effectively a bootlicker for corpos
>>740227675Europe is an enormous gaming market. Especially the UK and Germany. If they say you're gonna make a change or get blacklisted. You do it. Even Apple bends over for Europe.
OP is a mutt, right?
Finally, EU does something actually useful. Tick-tock, smartphone manufacturers: time to get back to making properly designed battery systems.They could even give it a marketing spin and say how the user can swap batteries in 20 seconds and be back at full power, instead of fucking lugging powerbanks that will take longer to charge (while also degrading your battery due to heat)Heck, pro photography equipment always worked this way with removable batteries, so that you could use one and quickly swap between takes, and as you rotate them around, the drained battery sits charging. It's just logical. But I can see companies already inventing stupid excuses about 'muh safety'... Fuck them.
>>740243881you know that we in EU can drink tap water because we dont allow corpos to dump literal cancer waste into the ground water like in muttland?
no buying a Siwtch 2 until:>it has at least 5 must play games (0 so far)>OLED screen>under 400€
>>740245165The proliferation of water filters in the USA is fucking wild, the only reasons you'd need one are>you're on a private water well and you either need the treatment or it's hard water and you need it softened>the water is horrible quality and the whole town knows you should boil it before drinking or cooking
>>740227675Because they're only doing it for the EU. Lawsuits are also costly and they know fighting it would just make them look even shittier.
Europe forced apple to use USB C as well. Get FUCKED companyfags
>>740227675NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T FORCE THE CORPORATION TO DO GOOD THINGS, THE COST WILL GO UP
>>740227675a lawsuit for what
>>740245280It'll probably be for everywhere just because it's easier to only have the one SKU, like Apple throwing USB-C on everything instead of trying to keep proprietary ports on USA models. Does mean though you'll need a whole new system. Also means replaceable batteries on joycons though!
how about they force them to fix the overpriced stick drift joycons? magnetic sticks should be default by law
>>740245249personally for me it's not buying any console that require a subscription to use my own internet
>>740245636no one plays multiplayer nintendo games anyway
>>740227675So what's the catch? These regulations always have some kind of dreadful knock-on effect. There's no way it's going to be as simple as "the Switch 2 will be exactly the same except you can remove the battery easily".I'm predicting any one or multiple of the following will be a consequence of this:>new Switch 2 will be thicker and bulkier and thus require a completely different dock>the battery life will be worse somehow>the new model will be gimped in some way that makes it run games worseWe already know one definite consequence of this is that the Switch 1 will be completely discontinued in Europe starting Feb 2027.I don't know why people pretend like this regulations are always "an easy win". There's always a catch that makes things more retarded and difficult for consumers as a consequence. Like how the USB-C law led to removal of dedicated headphone ports from iPhones.
>>740245697All they have to do is put a battery latch on the back of the shell and not glue the fucking battery in. None of those greentext ideas are plausible
>>740245518It'll depend entirely on how much money Nintendo thinks they make on replacement units.
>>740245697>sanes tendie
>>740227675Because EU fines are no joke. The EU literally makes more from fining American tech companies for failure to comply than from taxing their own native tech companies.
>>740245942Devilish, truly, they're gonna get the money from holier-than-thou American companies one way or another
>>740245942thats sounds based as fuck actually, just tax the ZOG mutts
>>740246013>>740246082It gets even funnier when you find out most Americans actually approve of this and pray for the EU to regulate things sensibly rather than even contact their own representatives in the US government, because they know the USG is totally corrupt and at least the EU is autistic enough to do the right thing.Example: Stop Killing Games. They went to the EU FIRST, because they knew if they got the EU on their side, everyone else would fall in line without much more effort.
>>740246319Yeah, sadly this also worked for the whole online ID verification bullshit. Once EUcucks get fucked with that, the rest will follow.
>>740246584EU's fighting the idea despite their bad actors pushing really hard for it, mostly conservatives
>>740245942Europe FUCKS America buxx
>>740227675because hardware people are fucking laughing at us. “supply line issues” my ass. “chip shortage” my fat hairy ass. it’s just another excuse to hike prices because people will buy any fucking way.
>>740231018>50 yearsdude there are gaggles of niggers and towelheads in random ass country towns in nearly all western EU countries already. i give it 10 before it’s all London/Detroit tier.
>>740247012Replacement theory nerds deserve all the scorn and mental anguish they inflict upon themselves
>>740243657We'll see. I don't care if she's a prog or crazy. As long as politics don't overly skew in one direction like under doug then I'm happy
>>740227957>I am not obsessed
>>740228043You don't need to defend the multi-billion dollar company. They pay actually competent people to do that.
>>740246850Well I'm not buying. If the Switch 2 was half price, which seems completely reasonable considering its comparative specs, I would've bought one on release.
>>740227675>make batteries modular>battery life is no longer an important marketable feature of the device>corpos immediately make standard batteries shitty and short-lived to sell more of them>corpos no longer compete to make batteries last longer>Chinese battery manufacturing sales skyrocketbuy the giga-battery upgrade pack and get twice the battery life! only for an extra €200! dont worry, if you dont want to giga-battery upgrade pack because you're a poorfag, just remember to replace your standard battery every year for just €70 each!
it's good that the EU's parliament can actually change the law to better reflect the wishes of its voters without waiting eons afterwards waiting to see if the courts approvei wish the US did the same
>>740228103Well the Big N is also going to charge them an extra $100+
>>740250278If corpo couldn't torpedo any legislation that cuts into their bottom line, well, that's just communism.
>>740245697>>the battery life will be worse somehowEven if it is, it could be easily replaceable with a better battery.
>>740227675>removable batterybasedjust hope they won't add a stupid separator between internals and the battery
>>740227675this will be how this shit gets modded
>Surface book laptop I bought in 2017 can't hold a charge and might be swelling>Switch I bought in 2017 can't hold a charge>Galaxy S23U I bought in mid 2023 was swelling up (had to take it to a shop to replace)Was 2017 the year companies got together and realized they could squeeze more out of the consumer by making the battery non-removable?
>>740251526Switch battery isn't terrible to replace, but yes, whenever the Galaxy S7 came out was the beginning of the end.
>>740227675Because it's pro consumer and Nintendo is pro consumer
>>740252084about as pro-consumer as apple's walled garden
>>740233486>the EU is turning into the European Democratic Republic.FTFY
>>740252204Walled gardens are pro consumer, yes.
>>740248808> 15 years of supporting the games' industry and in doing so, lifting up the voices, stories, and dreams of so many. This show connects people who are united by a shared belief that every dream matters and everyone deserves to do creative and meaningful work in games and storytelling...> everyone should get a chance> games and storiesmy nigga in Christ, Nintendo is notorious for designing games through designing the game mechanics first, finding an IP to fit the game mechanic, and only then do they either make a new IP and then slap a story on it. Meanwhile she's saying the same bullshit leftwing bullshit about people developing PRODUCTS. "Everyone deserves X", "lift up storytellers..." when this is a market that decides if your PRODUCT is worth a damn or not. Even the Greeks knew how communist women typically are (we should all have this and we should all have that, etc etc.) and made fun of them for that.
>>740231018Not because import of others China innovatesUS infestsEU makes rulesThey really have the people first on mind, but the rest of the world doesnt, so our quality of living is on average way better then anything else, but we dont really have anything outside of being "comfy".Hard times will come, but in a different form. We are not competing with anything
>>740227824>Europoorsand nothing of value was lost
>>740227675weaknintendo should have told them to go suck a lemon
>>740227957No, I look at this and think>Damn, that's cool, wonder if it is region locked at all because I would like to have one
>>740252520>Walled gardens are pro consumer...and war is peace....and the EU is a democratic institution working hard for the citizens of its member countries.>>740227824Wouldn't be too much of a loss considering the absolute state of EU-Europe all things considered.

>>740251986It's so funny cause I recently remembered my mom had an old laptop she got in 2013 she hasn't used in forever and I was concerned if it was swelling. I was prepared to open it up with a screwdriver and...all there was was a tab to push and the battery compartment would just pop out. Even better, the laptop still powers on without the battery if it's plugged in. Genuinely I blame every fucking techtuber as part of the problem. Asshat grifters just get a shiny new toy, gush about it, then throw it away right after they review it. Anyone reviewing any piece of battery-powered tech without considering repairability aren't worth shit to me now.

>>740263813NTA but what else is it supposed to be? Oceania? Asia? Europe doesn't mean EU.
>>740264010EU laws don't apply to the UK. Read his post again.
>>740227957>wahh daddy government save me!I'd rather keep the government away from my hobbies as much as possible
>>740256803it was basically the infinite money glitch as far as tech companies were concerned, an unavoidable hard end of life for every single product.
>>740227675because it's a good idea and they should have done it anyway
