    You won’t be thinking about game consoles when we deport all the immigrants who pick our food.

    I don’t think I’ll be buying any game consoles in the Handmaid’s Tale, guys. I’ll be making sure my family has food.

    Oh, well if so, I guess the gamer bros can thank their lucky stars they won’t be having any “woke” games [1] ruin their day (even though no one is forcing them to buy such games), and paying 40% more should be NBD for them and I expect to hear no whining from them about it…

    [1] Oh, but actually they will. Turns out the President doesn’t set policy on what Hollywood makes, or what the game industry makes, or the kind of DEI programs that companies have…their tears will be like manna from heaven.

      How did you turn an article about tarrifs into something woke?

    Somehow I don’t think video game consoles are going to be the main concern if the tariffs go through.

      True. Still kind of ironic that maga got its start with gamergate and now none of them will be able to afford games.

        If the real extremists get their way, none of these incel gamergate types will have any time for sitting on the couch anyway. They’ll need to be on the front lines of their actual civil war. If they thought having a few woke games or uppity women in tech doing reviews was ruining their day…
