Cannot? That’s super defeatist. US had pretty good electronics manufacturing capability until somewhat recently.

Literally cannot without breaking IP laws. Do I really need to explain why??

[-] misk@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, please do. Don’t leave me hanging.

Go ahead and manufacture and sell your own Switch hardware and see what happens.

How did you come up with the idea that domestically produced hardware would have to be produced independently from Nintendo and not just Nintendo of America? xdddddd

Nintendo is a Japanese company that is known for being very traditional, and have manufactured their products in Japan for like 100 years.

Financial considerations aside, they would just never move to the US. Especially over some demented Mad King making up random tariffs that could vanish at any point. It's just not happening.

So the only way you're getting a Switch manufactured in the US, is if you break IP laws. That was my point.

You do realise Nintendo manufactures their stuff in Vietnam? Is it some rogue operation by Mecha Pol Pot or are you going to come up with some different head lore? xdddddd
