Aubrey Quinn, a spokesman for the Association of Software Software, shared her concerns that the aggressive tactics that the United States has taken with tariffs in recent months will be much more expensive to maintain as a hobby. These concerns were directly reflected in situations, such as the delay of pre -order for Nintendo Switch 2 and the preparatory retailers do to raise prices of games.
Players feared the consequences of tariffs issued by President Donald Trump. In January, experts such as Mat Piscatellla predicted that the proposed tariffs would not only become more expensive physical games for studios and consumers, but also increase the price of the heat of the expected Nintendo 2 switch.

Nintendo confirms that the date of pre -order for the Nintendo Switch 2 console in the US is now pushed back due to the recent measures taken by Donald Trump.
IGN talked to a spokesperson for the Aubrey Quinn entertainment software and suggests that the impact of recent tariffs issued by Trump administration will be “real and harmful”. Quinn notes that the aim of ESA is to cooperate with the administration and find a solution that does not damage the industry, businesses and its people, including players. However, regardless of organization's efforts, tariffs seem to be much more expensive.
Quinn continued to identify the relationship between these high prices and the future of industry as a whole. He suggests that, as some of the largest game companies sees a decline in their profits, this could lead directly to smaller teams and less devices devoted to research and games. The long -term effect of something such is the change in the scope of the next generation of game consoles. For example, many of them expressed concern about how Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox try to push the digital future to the future. If tariffs do something like physical gaming even more expensive amusement, there could be even stronger chances that PlayStation 6 could leave physical.
Because many members of the current administration are new, Aubrey Quinn emphasizes that the priority of her team is to establish a relationship with those people and see what can be done to prevent the game industry from preventing more intervention. However, it explains that this problem affects all aspects of life, “from food to electronics”. In addition, Quinn talks about how American companies will fight in this situation because they require products outside the country's boundaries to produce goods. He notes that when it comes to players, they should contact their representatives and make sure the elected officials heard them.
