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".
Wondering how this is going to play out. A Switch for $600+ is borderline insane.
They already crossed the border!
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.
Ya? While sitting on your ass? Doubt.
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.
I think gamers are more reactionary than average. Gamers gave us Gamergate which eventually gave us Trump.
Guys, the word „gamers” was used too much in this comment thread. Stop.

I love your optimism, I wish I could share it.
They will just put the games at 100 each, not including DLC

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.
Thanks half the voting country too. You got neighbors who asked for this.
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.
Sony: we‘ll make it a little more expensive for everyone else, so no one feels left out <3
Nintendo: t(°-°t)
Will be hard with the preorders already out.
What you meant to say was
Sony: we'll let the whole world pay for the fascist bullshit the US is pulling <3

I wasn't going to buy it anyway with those prices
I’ll probably be able to play the games on my pc soon enough anyway
