Am I more informed when people burn the device (possible hardware design flaw), smash it with a hammer (flimsy, weak design flaw) or use it in very very outlandish ways? Should I extend that "due diligence" process to cars and fridges which are mishandled in many ways?
I would be concerned if all of it was based on normal user situations, but so far, all you have to do to replicate this issue is to drop the device on a concrete floor and then apply (an abnormal amount of) pressure to the Joycons so that the mechanism fails. Is that part of due diligence or just trolling and making it look like the Switch is a cheap hardware?
It's just weird to film yourself doing that and it's part of a clickbait campaign. Nothing gets more people interested than launch coverage and possible negative coverage. This is all there is to this, right now. In addition to that: shouldn't other outlets report on the same stuff since several months? Or is it just me missing that crucial information?
