For how much people are worrying about tariffs I've lived my entire life with a 66% alcohol tax, 75% electronics tax, 240-380% vehicles tax and recently even saw 150% inflation.
Let's play a game!
Where do I live?

Piracy π
Unfortunately, the only hardware component you can actually download is RAM. And increased hardware prices are going to be the primary cost factor.
Oh sorry I didn't read the article. Hardware makes more sense.
The funny thing is, I believe RAM is actually one component that isn't manufactured as much in China (compared to other components).

Gaymers are the most oppressed group, literally 1984
They targeted gamers
It ain't gonna cost me shit because I'm spending next to nothing for the foreseeable future apart from necessities, and what little I do spend is gonna be bought as locally as possible. Fuck this country.
We as leftists, must organize in ways that match the fascists. Subversion of their goals is our goal. The class and culture war is in full effect and we must not be complacent.
I'm not at all sure you can assume gamers are leftists. An awful lot seem to be pretty hard right.

[ignore, need to drink coffee]
Apologies, I'm not on Lemmy very much, nor the gaming community. I'm an American distraught by Trump right now. I'm no communist. Just an impassioned and anxious progressive American. Thank you for telling me.
All good. That's a fair point.
I am getting too paranoid. :)

'American gamers must return to buying American for their gaming needs. Thatβs why I have talked to Microsoft and they will lower their prices considerably. You are welcome, nerds.' -DT, probably soon
No amount of tariffs would get me to buy an Xbox lol
I think the most made-in-America gaming hardware is probably the mac pro
You're forgetting that they have to import all the components that are inside. Also mine says "Assembled in China", check yours, lol.
In the US.
I was borderline thinking of re-editing the headline to something along the lines of:
Proposed US tariffs may significantly raise gaming hardware costs for US gamers
But then decided against it as I generally think it's best to avoid title edits (other than minor corrections/edits that are explicit).
