#NINTENDO SWITCH ESHOP REFUND FULL#
Even some of the most controversial figures in the gaming industry (we won't point fingers here) offer full refunds on digital pre-orders.Īt any rate, the consumer authorities mentioned before sued Nintendo in the hopes of forcing the company to change its ways. Like many business practices of Nintendo's, this refund policy is quite different than that of many others. "Except as authorized by Nintendo or as required by applicable law, all payments that you make through the Shopping Services (including pre-purchases and Subscription payments) are final and non refundable, and Products may not be returned or exchanged," Nintendo's official " Purchase and Subscription Terms" documentation reads. Right now, Nintendo does not allow customers to cancel orders for digital games that have not been launched. Specifically, refunds for digital game pre-orders. Now, a European court has ruled in the video game giant's favor as well.įor roughly two years, according to Norwegian gaming site PressFire, Nintendo has been locked in a legal dispute ( Google Translated version here) with Norwegian and German "consumer authorities" regarding digital game refunds. Just yesterday, the company managed to convince a federal court to overturn a previous ruling that would have forced it to pay out roughly $10 million as part of a prior patent dispute judgement.
