Wow at the poker faces here

Alright, well, video games.
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.

The 2025 GDC developer survey noted an interesting trend that I believe is representative of the industry at large: Heavier emphasis on PC as a targeted platform.
