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

I definitely don't understand how these tariffs work, but couldn't the US' trade partners just.. import from China and sell to the US at a 10% markup?

that's current working plan, allegedly

IIRC it's based on country of origin so not really.

Import all the parts from China, slap em together. Now it's made in whatever other country.
