As well they should. I have nothing against Nintendo, but the joy-con issue was really abhorrent. It's a crappy design, a known flaw, and their solution is to tell you to buy another one at like 40 bucks each. It's a clear case of shoddy design to save pennies.

Meanwhile a buddy of mine came to me and asked if I could fix it... $15 for a set of hall effect Joy cons and another $10 for the stupid proprietary screwdriver needed to open the casing and he's good to go.
