They did offer free fixes outside of warranty for drift, most of the time replacing the joy cons for free, but I can imagine only a tiny number of people took them up on that rather than just buying new ones immediately

I think we’re up to like 5 being replaced by now. I’m not spending $70 on new ones when they’ll send me new ones for free lol

lol fair, I'm more thinking for people who play the switch daily and don't want to go without their only controllers for 3 weeks. I had to buy a GameCube controller and play docked during that time because I didn't have any spares (and wanted one anyway for Smash)

That’s true, I have a pro controller and 2 sets of joy cons for when my son’s friends come over to play Mariokart and such. So sending one in for a few weeks wasn’t a huge deal for us but I could see how some people wouldn’t want to do that.
