They still could have it on rails, just use magnets to secure rather than a latch that can get stuck or broken as easily. I would worry more that magnets = no Hall effect joysticks.
As if they were willing to give up that revenue stream in any case. It makes them too much money.
They offered to fix them for free, so it wasn't about revenue
Eh. You would think. But it could well have been about saving face more than actually wanting to do good. Think about how many people would have gone through the paperwork and trouble of getting their joycon repaired when buying a new pair is so much easier
Didn't say they fix them for free because of wanting to do good. The alternative would be small claims or lawsuits because or broken hardware, so preventing a loss or revenue
