With 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the US, as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico.
If they do get made, I expect higher prices both phys & dig.

If you *still* post on X/Twitter this is what you’re supporting. A literal Nazi.
It’s time to stop.
A good day to go to linkedin, scroll down to see a post about Elon Musk giving the Nazis salute and see those people you are connected with you should block...
I don't judge people for who they are connected with on linkedin cuz its a cluster... but some of you follow gross people.

Since you can apparently just rename whatever you want... I've decided to rename the Tay, and there's apparently nothing you can do about it. 😂
