It's a Goods tariff
They don't (directly) impact service imports like games, VFX, or outsourced software.
Edit: I'm wrong. This article is about tabletop games, not video games. Maybe a title change in HN would be helpful?
- 9283409232 2y agoReading before commenting would be helpful. It is very clearly stated in the article.
- atoav 2y agoAlso consider secondary effects. If you have a steel tariff anything that uses steel is more expensive. A lot of things use steel, so a lot of things get more expensive. Now thr sellers of those things have to make their stuff more expensive, at some point this increases some of the costs of a service company, e.g. energy bill, rent, the cost of computers and office stuff. A VFX company is more far removed from the steel market than a steel shop would be, but it still is not totally decoupled. But we are not talking about a tariff on steel, we are talking about a tariff on everything.
- Marsymars 2y ago> But we are not talking about a tariff on steel, we are talking about a tariff on everything. You’re entirely correct here, but it’s ironic to see compared to the carbon tax in Canada, that the right latched on to as being a tax on everything.
