    These tariffs are such a great way to filter more tax money to the rich.

      They can also hide price increases in there. During times of inflation and shortages, companies make record profits.

      Of course it is! You’d be hard pressed to find a Trump policy that isn’t designed specifically to enrich some obscenely wealthy person or another.

      The public had to pay the illegal tariffs themselves and then had to pay again to bail the corporations out from them!

        There are decades of great games I’ve never played and the steamdeck is more than capable of most that I want to play. I’m satisfied to wait it out.

        But then the potential viruses. How would someone go about locking down their ship?

        Edit: I guess a separate hard drive would do.

    Of course they are not obligated to. That’s not the issue here.

    It would have been the morally right thing to do and these companies just show (once again) they do not follow any morals.

    I’ve never bought anything from Nintendo or Microsoft, so saying I won’t in the future will be of no consequence, but at least Sony was on the table for me in regards to a new phone maybe.

    It’s true. They aren’t obligated.

    The refunds got issued, didn’t they? Why would that happen if they were intended for consumers?

    I have a Sony Bravia TV. The next TV won’t be Sony. I have Windows 10. The next operating system won’t be Microsoft. See what you’re doing Sony and Microsoft?

      Why the hell do you still have windows at this point? The TV is hardware, I get that. But windows? Just change it.

    Why would they refund the money? They know that their customers are so addicted that they will continue buying. Same with not owning digital games; the buyers will keep on buying. Complaining, yes, but buying none the less.

    We all know that when a new game comes out, people are going to bend right over and take it hard.

    Principles and self respect is a thing of the past.

    People planning on buying their games anyway have found this comment I see…
