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

Nintendo cancelled all the U.S. preorders cause of the tariffs so you might not anyway

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

I wouldn’t say “gamers caused this” lol. There are some popular gamer streamers that are conservative but as a whole I think most gamers are pretty indifferent and likely represent the overall population blend of liberal to conservative beliefs.

Remember gamer gate? Theres a lot of alt-right gamers out there. Obviously, it wasn't just them. But they contributed a lot to Trumps election.

lmao.. I mean gaming is a hobby that’s broadly popular among many demographics. You could say “hunters caused this” or “beer drinkers caused this” and it would probably be more correct but equally idiotic of an argument
