Honestly I blame Sony for getting the ball rolling on the price increase, just shocked it was Nintendo to be the first to go right to $80 lol. But let’s be honest most gamer slop enjoyers have been paying more than $70 or $80 for games for a long time. Sadly there’s a reason why companies keep ripping pieces out of games and slipping them in as “Deluxe Edition Exclusive missions or costumes!” Or the extra $20 for a digital art book.
People blame Sony, but in reality TakeTwo was the first to increase prices the last time, followed by EA.
 
I hope the economy crashes and burns, anyone who deserved their success will find a way to be successful in whatever comes after anyway, it's only an apocalypse for people that benefited from the rotten status quo
Be careful what you wish for. People don't generally go off to starve to death quietly. There will be unrest.

Historically Nintendo has done $70/$80 dollar games in the mid 90s due to chip storages / additional chip requirements on carts so adjusting price to meet current dev cost is not new for them. It all depends if that additional price is something the gaming market can bear.

you really dont get it, I'm essentially saying that the modern "service-entertainment-stockmarket-etc" economy is fake and gay. Work is supposed to suck to beat the pussy ass bitch out of people, so all this desk-jockey, Bing Bing wahoo, shareholder meeting, focus group bullshit is bad for you. GDP is fake jew nonsense.
also at least around me factory jobs are actually nicer than service jobs with set schedules and time off and youre not on call constantly and less micromanging and more benefits at higher pay and more room for promotion and pathways to less manual labor. were not in the days where little cockney orphans died trying to stomp the deer into the meat grinder chimney stacks for a shilling a week or whatever

My breakfast of radiator cooked street rocks and dead rat was very delicious, thank you Donald for lending me nothing so I can be so happy!
kinda odd youd choose to do that with egg and other food prices down but good on ya i guess

The trades are where it's at. There won't be any plumbers starving to death. BossmanJack is going to get the last laugh with his HVAC certificate.
 
Hopefully this doesn't piss off the mods and get me threadbanned but I talked to a bunch of my eurocuck friends about the tarrifs. No surprise that over here the general consensus is "tarrifs bad, amerimutts are shooting themselves in the foot, I'm gonna get rich off of shorting their stocks"

So I ask them - if the tariffs are so bad, then why do we have EVEN HIGHER tarrifs. What's good for the goose is SURELY good for the gander, RIGHT? The way they spin around would break a snake's spine when they try to explain this shit. "That's different! USA took profits from being world leader! They print their own money!" And my personal favorite answer: "I like my tarrifs, they're normal to me"

Once I point out that we could just lower the bad tarrifs and all of this goes away, everyone wins, they move the goalpost so far it's not even worth it

If it wasn't the disdain I gained for my kind over the past couple of months I'd believe this whole shit is astroturfed by the fucking EU so that people don't start asking dangerous questions like "So our government is robbing us fucking blind and we can change that?". But no, there isn't a rainbow reaction big enough to convince me that's the case. Most europoors are brainwashed so much that you people wouldn't believe.

My money is on the UK being near last and dad later than the EU.
He's pretty much going to make every country bend the knee, I'm pretty sure that's what he's trying to do here.

He's literally said he's willing to negotiate I think this was probably the point all along, to get them to lower there tariffs. It's a very risky gamble though. But seems to be paying off from the amount of countries willing to play ball.

They're real cocky about shorting the market until they get short squeezed by the market makers. Remember, the prices are made up and the house always wins.
