Trumps administration har placeret store tariffer på et hav af markeder verden over, og det kommer til at få ret massive konsekvenser for en række brancher, og spilbranchen er ikke undtaget. Vi har allerede set Nintendo udsætte forudbestillinger på Switch 2 i USA, men det kommer ikke til at stoppe.
I et interview med Stephen Totilo siger ESA Senior Vice President Aubrey Quinn, at dette kommer til at få en "detrimental" effekt på spilbranchen.
"Any one product that a consumer would buy is likely to be subject to many of the tariffs announced, all compounded on top of one another."
Og Quinn lader heller ikke til at være enig i administrationens tankegang når det gælder de her tariffer:
"I think every company, every industry, the video game industry included, needs to think about what's best for consumers, best for business, and best for employees. Supply chains are complicated and, certainly, supply chains don't change overnight. Everything that is considered or decided can't be a quick turnaround and can't be a knee-jerk reaction to any particular announcement."
