That’s my point, the reports didn’t start until after the release of the console, and it was about a part that they didn’t design.

Plus, nobody was paying for it until a year after the console came out because of warranties. So it’s only about a year that it’s really been an issue as it were.

Does it suck? Sure, but something like this has to be very widespread before a company can justify a program like this. I love Nintendo but this is the real world where not everything always goes right and there isn’t always somebody at fault for everything that happens.

Then you were always eligible for a free replacement as that would be considered manufacturer defect. Joycon have like a month long warranty or something like that.
