When GPU prices increased in February that's because tariffs on China were 10%
When they increased again in March that's because they were 20%
Now they're 54% for China and other Asia markets incl. Vietnam are 46%
Unless reversed or reduced, you can expect to see the price of gaming hardware soar

Now a 1000 dollars is barely enough for a mid-range configuration.
Fuck.
Got a PS5 Pro and it's been fun. I spend more time enjoying games and less time fiddling with settings and being upset over bad PC ports.
Plus physical games are fun and affordable ^-^
A lot of the raw materials aren’t available unless imported, and tech is a major US export.
Relocation out of US prob looks quite appealing to some major companies to protect profit and global sales.
Cost after: likely around $600.
Elections have consequences.
Not beating the allegations.
Also sounds just like MAGA rhetoric.
There really does need to be a valid third party solution in the US
But who knows what will happen. Even if Vietnam reduces its tariffs to 0%, that doesn’t solve the trade deficit issue the US tariff calculations were based on in the first place.
I thought a gaming crash could happen after GTA6 dropped but honestly it's looking like a crash is inevitable by the summer.
When it started pre-orders last month the price was $549.
And with the recent tariff increase and “reciprocal tariffs”, it’s very likely that it will have to go up again.
Just no awareness whatsoever of *WHY* or *WHO* forced Nintendo to "go political"
But a big part of mango's NEET base is going to be going through it with $800 switch 2s, $90 games, and no pc hardware.
Simple.
like even for low empathy selfish people there is zero reason to want this to happen you're still going to pay more even if it was all here in 5 years
it will be easier to get american made and soon everything will be american made
There are literal raw materials that aren't available in the US. The whole thing is stupid.
