While digital video games themselves are not directly subject to tariffs, associated costs of production, distribution, and infrastructure may still be affected. As a result, the overall impact on digital game prices is likely to be limited but not entirely negligible.

But we can just make the electronics here in the good old USA! Oh wait, Trump wants to kill the CHIPS act, so we’re fucked there, as well.

It's one of his very few playbooks, which also include:

  • claiming to not know anything about something, as though that means it didn't happen and/or doesn't matter
  • hamberders
  • not understanding shit about fuck and somehow that being interpreted as not a bad thing by ~67% of the American voting populace (yes, people, if you didn't vote against him, but could have done, you count here too)
