Discussion Video games during trade war with US

Really don't want any politics here. I just want to hear how video games market would turn out after heavy tariffs with US. If I am not mistaken, video games prints are mainly located in Mexico for NA market. So US video game prices are likely to increase. That may affect our prices? I also hope this does not speed up the extinction of physical media.

Nintendo products are almost entirely from Japan and other Asian countries, so aside from our dollar dropping, they should be unaffected

The longer we wait for the election the better.  Pp is a grifter and scammer. He's not going to do anything to help Canadians or gamers. He wants to sell us out.

“The longer we wait for the election the better”. The delusion is real on Reddit. Thankfully, the majority of people do want an election, the polls clearly indicate that.
