Nintendo told the court that “the doctrine of unjust enrichment does not apply when a party voluntarily pays a purchase price and receives a product in return.” Nintendo said plaintiffs “received exactly what they paid for: Nintendo products that Plaintiffs knowingly and voluntarily purchased at the advertised price. Nor is there anything ‘unjust’ about Nintendo retaining money that it may receive from the government as tariff refunds. The fact that Nintendo stands to receive tariff refunds does not give Plaintiffs any legal entitlement to those funds.”

I’m a lifelong Nintendo fan but this is robber baron speak. You don’t blame the victim of price manipulation by telling them they deserve to pay unjust prices because they have no other choice than to pay unjust prices or go without. This is the type of shit medieval feudal lords would pull when oppressing peasants. This type of behavior doesn’t belong in the 21st century.
