They somehow still haven’t priced in the tariffs
I think they might have tried to factor them in, but couldn’t have predicted a 46% tariff on Vietnam
Do the tariffs impact digital downloads of software? I figure they’ll increase the price regardless
Nintendo is probably going to opt increasing licensing fees if the console profit margins drop, so it’s probably going to increase costs of games across the board (even companies with zero physical presence).
if the console profit margins drop
Which is funny because consoles are more on the razor blade (a more apt comparison is printers and their ink) model of doing business.
For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, some items like printers or razors are sold with very thin profit margins, or at a loss, then make it up with the items that’s required to get use out of it. Printers are notorious for this model as the printer itself is pretty cheap, but the ink costs magnitudes higher than it costs to produce. Consoles are also known to use this model of business too.
Don’t forget to tip at least 420% of your playtime
now imagining an even more cursed world where I have to ask myself if a sidequest will be interesting enough to justify paying an extra $3 to play it out
keep the lathe the fuck away from me
I think dragon age already did this, an npc offered you a tip on a cool quest if you greased his palm and when you said yes it opened up the dlc page.

Not that I feel bad for the big N at all, but it’s kind of interesting that they got the first big backlash from tariffs (which I assume the $450 figure was hedging for). The game MSRP hike is anti-consumer, though.
If the people want their treats they should be mad at Trump, not Nintendo.
I’ll be going to the custom tip amount and entering 100% so I can say, ‘THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MIYAMOTO ON BEHALF OF ALL GAMERS’
Since it’s Nintendo, shocked that the min amount isn’t starting at 25%
