Same-ish price in Canada though

1.48% average US import tariff.
1.39% average Europe import tariff

-US as trade victim is a Trumpian fraud.
-Trump as a victim is a fraud.
-Social media is where he sells his habitual lies and the cultists always buy it.

He wants to end income tax and estate tax with any type of consumption tax which is regressive. The 1% will get a massive tax break that way.

😳 I guess I cannot buy Nintendo Switch 2. 😔

Blaming the price of a game on tariffs is a bit of a stretch. I don’t have a Switch but PS5 and Steam games are often $60-80, especially new releases.

It was 50 to 60 before the places that makes these video games banded together to fix the orange man about his high tax
I don't know anyone who's ever paid 80 bucks for damn game but you have fun with the excuses it's gonna be a long four years and I'm going to stay dragging the orange killing shit

k3ymast3r.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m not defending Trump’s tariff plans. I just paid $70 for AC Shadows. The deluxe edition is $90. Maybe Switch games are typically less expensive?

Tell me you don’t play games without telling me you don’t play games.

shiningstar5022.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah, especially since the pricing is mostly the same in Canada & the UK.

herethereeverymatt.bsky.social•40 days ago

This has nothing to do with tariffs. Games are just getting more expensive. Most run $70 now. In a couple of years, $80 will be the default price.

booklover89.bsky.social•40 days ago

I never paid $80 bucks for any damn game stop gasliting

herethereeverymatt.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m not gaslighting. Games cost damn near $80 now. Jesus fuck you guys are freaking out. I hate trump and wish the worst for him but tariffs have nothing to do with the $80. Rockstar even said GTA VI could possibly cost $100.

booklover89.bsky.social•40 days ago

Months ago, people covered the game stop gearing up for Trumps tariffs on tiktok talking things are already expensive not good on the economy those three countries are banning together im not freaking out I hardly play switch these days I'm just saying I don't know anyone who spent 80 on a game

herethereeverymatt.bsky.social•40 days ago

Also in the EU it costs €90. Which is $97.

dangermouse911.bsky.social•40 days ago

They will go up with tariffs.

herethereeverymatt.bsky.social•40 days ago

Maybe, maybe not. But everything else, yes.

booklover89.bsky.social•40 days ago

Trump did this shit

dangermouse911.bsky.social•40 days ago

They come from Japan. Japan, South Korea, and China banded together to retaliate. Trump will be bigly mad.

jules3456.bsky.social•40 days ago

More important things than gaming. I'll stick with the basics for now. Be smart in this economy.

beebosceebo.bsky.social•40 days ago

It’s actually not him for once. It costs about the same everywhere else (the cheaper one in Japan is a region locked system that only has Japanese as the language because yen is weak compared to USD.

ilonoona.bsky.social•40 days ago

Console is 470 Euros overhere. So it’s actually cheaper in the US. So nothing to do with Trumps tariffs.

monroevillemallrat.bsky.social•40 days ago

Most games these days are purchased as digital downloads, like songs or movies, so tariffs wouldn’t really apply there.

They absolutely would apply to the hardware, of course.

socaldude11.bsky.social•40 days ago

Ps5 games are mostly $70 and it costs just a little more
