Gamers need to wake tf up and realize that they caused this.

This no longer has anything to do with Nintendo.

gaming influencers like Charlie, Mutahar and (As much as I hate him) Asmongold need to start speaking out if they care about gaming., Instead they are pretending this has nothing to do with politics and is just "Nintendo greed".

Digital game prices have been going up for a while too because of inflation. Inflation that the man the gamers elected promised would go down, not made worse with tariffs.

You can't keep hiding behind this copium anymore. You caused this. Take some damn responsibility, cut it with he bigoted "Anti-woke" bullshit and join us against Trump and Elon

All for some hope of "re-shoring" our production. Unfortunately all the machinery to do that comes primarily from other countries and some of the most cost effective options was China.

Not only machinery, but knowledge and experience too. If we were a sensible country we would be giving incentives for Chinese factory workers to come over and train our workforce, focusing one sector at a time with reasonable targeted tariffs paired with government investment, and so on.
