I’ll probably be able to play the games on my pc soon enough anyway

I'm going to save so much money by not going to the US to buy one of those... I wonder what I'll do with all that wealth.

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

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.

Wondering how this is going to play out. A Switch for $600+ is borderline insane.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

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.

They already crossed the border!

They will just put the games at 100 each, not including DLC

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.

Out of all the people it’s gamers that will put trump out of office.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Ya? While sitting on your ass? Doubt.

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.
