I don't know what Nintendo was thinking by doing the Nintendo tax bullshit harder than ever during a time when Americans are facing such heavy financial burdens
These tariffs suck for sure, but America is not the center of the world : the pricing of these games is insane and looks like a poor marketing decision globally
I'm aware, but it's worth noting since America is usually a big consumer country, and right now, we can't onsume.
The Switch has the Switch tax. The Switch 2 will have the Switch 2 TARIFF.
Most likely they came up with the plan while people thought Trump was not going to do the crazy stuff he kept talking about...
To still go through with it and have Doug Bowser give this "Do you guys not have phones?" level bullshit defense?
It seems these idiots do not have the emotional intelligence we try to enforce in toddlers to recognize when a mistake was done, make apologies and rectify... instead they quadruple down and keep pushing as if their idea is now even more genius than before.
This is how we end up with Trump literally destroying the US economy while people wonder "is it outrageous stupidity or intergalactic 17 dimensional chess?"
We have never (to my knowledge) lived in a real life, non analogy, of the Emperor has no clothes
