Switch 2 preorders [in the US] delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty
Switch 2 preorders [in the US] delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty
Nintendo will “assess” market conditions; planned June 5 launch date still set for now.
I'm so glad that the prices were revealed right before the tariff announcement.
So now... they either stick to that and suck it up or they will increase them and show more people what these tariffs are doing.
Agreed, this will anger young people, who need to be shaken awake to let them know that politics isn’t a fucking game. Conservatism and authoritarianism is poison, they just didn’t understand that yet.
This specifically is so funny to me. It wasn't intentional, but damn was it good timing.
I actually kinda think it was intentional. Any business savvy person knew these tariffs were coming and that they would be disruptive especially to something like the Switch 2.
Nintendo games went from 60 to 90 dollars. They put tariffs on everyone.
Good, for all those zoomers that voted for trump, eat a dirty asshole you fucks.
As opposed to millenials, gen X and boomers who voted for trump? Why do they get a free pass?
A majority of them aren't playing switch. Not saying none of them are but the highest majority of switch players in those groups are zoomers.
Great news to the people who were complaining about the price as they can complain more about the further adjusted price due to the tariff
The anti woke gamers that can only see politics when it intersects their treats will be thrilled by this. But I don't expect any self reflection or deep analysis by them.
Nah, they'll blame developers and publishers. There will be death threats I'm sure. Boycotting companies out loud while still using their products.
Gamers are truly the most oppressed class
It's gonna be interesting to see how this pans out, there's a good chance the console and games will be VERY expensive in the US by the time they come out if Japan and the US get into a tariff - counter tariff spat.
Ah, fuck Nintendo anyway.
I mean, I think Nintendo is a shitty, awful, greedy corporation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for how tariffs will effect consumers. It's bad for the economy and the GOP are a bunch of fucking morons for letting their prophet get to this stage.
And yes, I know all the chums will pipe in that their strategy is for all the billionaires to swoop in and buy up everything cheaply. But that's very short sighted, as this type of bullshit is causing long-term damage to the US's soft power and influence. Our allies and trading partners are literally forging new agreements without us, meaning even once the tariffs are over, things are not just going to magically go back to normal, if they ever even do.
Fuck the GOP
Facebook Nintendo groups are having a Biblical meltdown right now.
Ooh, time to post to the InsanePeopleFacebook community
What’s uncertain? He’s solidifying income for the executive branch sans congress. And thus gutting congressional power over the executive branch before midterms.
So we're back to the 80s. Now, can the US market pick itself back up?
