I was borderline thinking of re-editing the headline to something along the lines of:

Proposed US tariffs may significantly raise gaming hardware costs for US gamers

But then decided against it as I generally think it's best to avoid title edits (other than minor corrections/edits that are explicit).

Companies will find a way to apply this also to the rest of the world, citing some bogus reasons.

It's like how back when the Euro or the Pound were worth nearly 2x what the dollar was, a new device or piece of hardware would sell for $399/€399/£399.

The EUR and GBP prices included VAT, import fees and whatever other fees levied by the local govt on electronics.
