And yeah, it's just like Nintendo is very – a lot of people are mad at them this week even before this news this morning, right, because of their prices. Like I don't know if you saw the like Treehouse streams where just everybody in chat is spamming like lower the price, lower the price. And they're being definitely looked at by a lot of people who –

Don't want to look at the world beyond video games as like kind of the bad guys. But yeah, like you guys were saying, it's just like, of course, the week this happens, they have to be the first ones to do this. And this does spell a lot of bad things to come, not just in the video game industry, but in all industry and in all of our wallets.

And I think, like, focusing anger on Nintendo, which I have weirdly still seen this morning, is being mad at a symptom and not the root cause. And I just hope that people can kind of take a moment to step back and be like, yeah, corporations are going to be corporations and they're going to try to jump prices up and stuff.

But, you know, shout out to Neo Aoshi in the chat who put in a link that reminded me that, like, They were trying to get around some stuff, and they were trying to anticipate for tariffs. I don't think they anticipated for how high these tariffs were going to be.

And they were also trying to move production from China, which they knew were going to have the most amount of tariffs, to Vietnam to try to cut that off a little bit, right? And it ended up being insane for even Vietnam as well. So it's just... It's about to be real fucking bad.

Another question I have for you just as you look at some super chats. Do we think we see a collapse in this industry?

So let me rephrase, like, maybe not collapse. I don't... Do we think we ever bounce back from this? With the ramifications that we're about to go through. To the same level that video games were at.

and this isn't one for you to answer in the moment, but I guess my question just, uh, is how do you adjust when people completely stop buying because they, they're just at the point that they can't afford shit anymore.
