    That’s fine. Nintendo was already planning to impose the Nintendo tax. So I imposed the “I ain’t buyin’ this shit tax”.

        Hopefully gamers get together and protest Trump out of office for artificially bumping up the costs of goods.

        Tarrifs = Tax

        A tax that working people pay, in the country that set the tarriff.

            Probably gamers put him in office in the first place. Steve Bannon capitalized on Gamergate and started latching on to it to recruit young white male gamers to the far right. Then these GamerGate proponents became manosphere followers.

              You say that but I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if gamers as a demographic are more liberal than average.

        145% of 450 is 652, you add those together and it’s essentially 1100$. And that’s before tax at the register in the US.

        I don’t even want to imagine what is going to be the price for it here in Brazil. After the ps4 launched for nearly $2000 I haven’t even looked at any console retail prices here again.

        Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.

      Thanks Trump for adding a 145% “tax” on my electronics. How am I supposed to afford anything now!?

      Guess I may as well just go protest instead.

      I wasn’t going to get one even if it was £20, but how? Trump set the tariffs. Obviously it’s going to cost a shitload more if there is a 145% tariff in the US.
