Nintendo wins EU court case letting it continue its no-refunds eShop pre-order policy
The world of digital rights on video game purchases is still a bit murky. We’re still seemingly leagues away from being able to resell or even gift away the digital licences for the games we buy. Hell, up until relatively recently it was hard enough getting refunds for games. Steam was one of the first major platforms to offer refunds, through a straight forward and consumer-centric process. Microsoft’s refund process is now pretty similar to Steam’s. It’s a little tougher to get refunds on PlayStation consoles, but at the very least Sony will let you cancel a pre-order and get a refund. Good luck trying that with Nintendo.
