I’ll probably be able to play the games on my pc soon enough anyway

I'm going to save so much money by not going to the US to buy one of those... I wonder what I'll do with all that wealth.

Then why are you getting angry while checking this sub and this post? Seems like you're also getting worked up over it.

I'm sorry you're in a bad situation, I get it, I'm also not in a situation where I could even buy the switch 2 even if I wanted to. But this is a big deal, the USA have fucked themselves up in the ass so hard that people outside of it might get hit with it. The price of the switch 2 is just one of the tips of this iceberg, the price of the PS5 is another, but in a short while the same thing will start to happen to lots of electronics, including hospital ones, which could increase the price for everyone depending on how this plays out.

Unfortunately for the rest of us the US is a BIG extremely consumer market, and if they get taken off the picture the profit margin decreases and prices need to hike to keep up.

Noone is disagreeing with your concerns. They are disagreeing with your selfrighteous stance that your problems are the most important.
Using a switch gaming thread for self pity is some major narcissism red flag.

That's fine. Nintendo was already planning to impose the Nintendo tax. So I imposed the "I ain't buyin' this shit tax".

I wasn't going to get one even if it was £20, but how? Trump set the tariffs. Obviously it's going to cost a shitload more if there is a 145% tariff in the US.

Wondering how this is going to play out. A Switch for $600+ is borderline insane.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.

They already crossed the border!

They will just put the games at 100 each, not including DLC
