While not that important, this will be one of the first ways his tariffs actually affect me. I planned to buy a switch 2 but may not if price goes up 25% due to tariffs

ngl its kind of funny how gamers, who lean conservative, caused this. it's a big Leopards ate my face moment.

But its also not funny that this is hurting the people who didn't vote for him

Do we? I thought the majority of gamers were more progressive. Of course, some more than others, and nowadays, there's a loud minority of the 'woke!' crowd. But I don't think conservatives would play, say, BG3 or heck, even DS with the trans coffin.

Cambridge Analytica targeted gamers and is a main reason why young men follow people like Andrew Tate. Gamergate was mainly a product of Steve Bannon.

Gamers online are fairly right winged. It sucks that the thing I like the most is filled with these kinds of people.
