I like videogames too, but something tells me these people already hated Trump and are just looking for yet another retroactive justification.
They keep saying "physical games" so I'm guessing buying them on the nintindo store won't incur the tariffs. Worse comes to worse, just pirate them and play them on a switch emulator like a real nerd.

digital games are going to be 80 dollars, and physical games will cost another 10 on top of that for a 90 dollar price tag total, meaning that it doesn't have anything to do with the tariffs, and it's just video games finally inflating their consumer price some to catch up. they've been 60 dollars for 20+ years, and old video games used to be 70+ routinely, which if you do the math, inflates into the hundreds in today's money.

they're retarded and absolutely do not understand any kind of economics, or they would already know video games did not increase prices when other things did for several years., and it just feels worse now because it's such a noticeable jump at one time, rather than a slow boil over time.

she can't release the epstein files at all, but she can certainly protect CEOs of the future from people who've been directly fucked over by them. i have changed my whole view of bondi since the epstein shit. this woman is a colossal retard, and major bad pick.
 
retarded non-economists who don't understand tariffs and just focus on their nintendork games think that the very successful, very powerful, bigly working trump tariffs are causing higher prices for their video games.

in case you don't know, the vast majority of US tariffs and taxes on japan are on automaking and aluminum.

Is this because the games are manufactured in China? I remember when they were all manufactured in Japan. I guess that must have switched some time during the DS or Switch era when they moved to the flash cartridge format.

It is weird that the files are still being "reviewed"

I guess the real files has some actual shit in them and now Trump wants to back off them. No doubt it all leads back to the Jews not wanting to out their compromised agents.

my favorite part is, these people under biden are so bad off that 100 dollars extra on a thing that should be a luxury 'saved for' purchase is absolutely devastating to them. they cannot comprehend that a corporation might not care if they can't afford to buy the latest and greatest console, or that the cost of the upgraded internals may actually have bumped up production costs. but instead of blaming the president who put them in a financial situation where they cannot even save an extra 100 dollars in a reasonable time frame to buy a console, they blame the guy who's working to try and fix that very economic state. it's just more proof in my eyes that most people talking about the tariffs do not even know what the fuck a tariff IS, let alone how they work, who they're applied to, what goods are being tariffed, or anything else about it.

no, this is being done to digital games as well, as i explained a bit earlier it's because video games did not inflate in price the way other goods did, and now the inflation is happening all at once, so it seems much higher compared to other things, but if you do inflation calculation, games are far cheaper today, even at 90 USD, than they were regularly priced at during the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 eras.

these people think that because there are tariffs on some countries, including japan, that those tariffs must be on 100% of goods in and out. but it's not the case for japan, whose tariffs are on aluminum exports, and automaking exports, which is why the tariffs on mexico are a problem for companies like nissan.
 
I remember back in 2000 The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was $59.99 (which would be $110 now). I’m actually quite surprised games aren’t $100+ already

also all Nintendo does is fucking rely on the nostalgia of aging millennials releasing the same game over and over including remakes of old games, it would be better if people gave them less money
 
Maybe I'm just a dumb retarded nigga, but uh - Isn't a life of prison a worse punishment then the death penalty? Shit, I wouldn't mind getting choked out on fun time gas compared to having to spend 87 years until the heart attack getting raped by niggers and looking at blank walls in max.
 
It's basically an open secret that the 2020 election was stolen. The amount of votes Biden got were absolutely statistically impossible not to mention that 11 million Democratic voters vanished between 2020 and 2024.
You aren't telling me anything I don't know, I saw it live on this thread. My question is more if Musk has produced a proper smoking gun that can't be easilly handwaved away.

I'm just happy to see these retards fake-crying about the economy now. I hope they eat shit.

Even though the video game industry is technically a lot bigger, individual games typically sell less than they used to, so prices for games have been going down in real dollars.
 
was she talked into doing a dance called "the bump"?
She was at an office party in Denver I believe, and she was sitting on a table. He sat on the table behind her and the story to pass on to her children was thus born.
I would guess it's something like Nixon not pushing getting screwed against JFK?
I just did what I should've and searched it. It's kvetching about tariffs and Europoors being sad that they were being told to fuck off and handle their own shit.

Switch 2 was gonna be expensive no matter what. It wasn't gonna be $299 like the switch. Just wait a few years for the price to some down once scales of economy kick in.

Blame Nintendo for putting in a 1080p hdr 120hz screen into the system. FFS, the steam deck oled only has a 90hz screen.
