When normal sales are no longer enough, companies naturally like to look for other lucrative sources of income. Today’s article will show you how this can easily be done and proves once again that companies like Asus or Samsung are just the tip of the iceberg that can cause your wallet to sink with a big crash. Let’s say you have a problem with your beloved console. Maybe your Joy-Con is drifting again or it’s not responding at all. A minor issue that should actually be covered by the warranty. But why do it for free when you can charge a small fortune for it? Because the device is magically “repaired” – usually after a long wait – and so thoroughly that you wonder if they even touched it.
This is exactly where I come in, because of course I took a thorough look at the documents and the extended mail history beforehand. For reasons of data protection and various personal rights, I will refrain from quoting directly from the communication, but I will use the official letters as evidence and, at the end, a thought log so as not to completely expose the person on the other end of the line. After all, the employees on the service hotline are also just employees who act on the instructions and according to the specifications of the manufacturer, in this case Nintendo, and have to make a living from it.
It is also a fact that such excesses cannot occur without strict guidelines from the manufacturer. This is a brief introduction to an article that shows two things: things are “repaired” that are not completely defective or are replaced without being unscrewed and, in the end, a spare part for a few cents would have done instead of a “refurbished” 200-euro console that was previously taken from another customer in the same way. A different kind of circular flow of goods and only one party deserves it: Nintendo. But that’s exactly what we need to talk about today!
