The increased price is not the result of tariffs, neither for the games nor console. That's pretty much confirmed by them costing the same amount (converted + sales tax) in Europe. The console is (was, before tariffs) fairly priced imo, it is comparable to the steam deck + dock.

Is 80$ Mario Kart price gouging? Eh. The edit maniac in the comments here is right that video games have become cheap, maybe even too cheap, and that a price increase at some point was inevitable. 60$ was set as the AAA price before the smartphone existed, and was not always profitable as we've seen with the recent lay-offs.

My own 2 cents: I'm glad some company broke that unspoken rule (we ignore skull and bones for obvious reasons), so big releases have more options in pricing, too long have we accepted 60$ games with 20$ DLC, I'm glad if this means devs can just charge 80$ for a full game. Oh, and it's good for indie games too. People may actually buy the shorter games with worse graphics they wanted so badly a few months ago.

Oh I know. Would suck to be American right now 😎.

I instead get to pay a converted 98$, 50% more than Xenoblade X or Brothership cost here...

I will admit: I'm in this picture.

Game developers have to eat, too, so a (!) price hike at some point was expected, the price for AAA games was set to 60$ before smart phones existed. They only stayed at 60 so long because gaming got much more popular in that time, driving sales. IF (!) this increase would allow developers to pay their employees more and eliminated the crunch culture, I'd have no problem with it.

But we know this is just corporate greed. Pay extra to own your game physically, pay extra to play your old games, join our subscription program. Oh, you're in Europe and your wages kept up with inflation? Forget the 33%, you can afford a 50% price increase instead.

With the Japanese-only model being the singular exception, you'd think the direct was lead by 3 new faces just so Nintendo could put the blame on them when the thing doesn't sell well due to the price.

Oh, and Skull and Bones was dog shit, of course everyone hated it's ludicrous price point.

Me misspelling salaries.

Ich fand das Beispiel im Aritkel erklärt den Sachverhalt schon ganz gut. 1 hier wohnender Monegasse, 2 straffällige Monegassische Touristen, "200% aller hier lebenden Monegassen sind kriminell!!!1!11!", ist halt einfach statistische Unfug und gehört nicht in so ein Dokument.

Entweder man lässt die Straftaten von hier nicht wohnhaftigen Personen raus, oder man rechnet aus, wer denn eigentlich alles in einem Zeitraum in dem Gebiet war um eine Straftat in diesem Bezirk verüben zu können, ob wohnhaft, Tourist, oder wegen der Arbeit hier durch musste, und dann auch die wohnhaften rausnehmen, die in dem Zeitbereich woanders waren. Ansonsten muss man sich nicht wundern, wenn bestimmte Gruppen hier überrepresentiert sind, die sich in dem Polizeibezirk häufiger aufhalten als sie dort wohnhaft sind.

Und ja, wie im Artikel gesagt, junge arme Männer sind immer mehr Straffällig als alte reiche Damen, egal welche Nationalität, wir sollten also eher jeden Buben abschieben als jeden Österreicher.

In here absolutely everyone knows this stuff and it’s all just common knowledge.

For the record, unlike the United states, Hungary is a state party to the ICC. They are legally required to cooperate with the ICC, but if Orban says nothing will be done... I don't know the consequences. Probably nothing.

A quick glance at Wikipedia says the ICC can prosecute cases where individual states are unable or unwilling to prosecute. "Therefore, many states parties have implemented national legislation to provide for the investigation and prosecution of crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the Court." Hungary is not such a state, their laws are still in the drafting part. I assume Hungary can promise nothing will be done because while the ICC can prosecute, they still need an executive branch to do the arrest, which would be Hungarian?

If I see a obviously AI generated picture as a thumbnail on youtube, I immediately block that creator. If I hear those awful AI voices reading text, same. If you want to share something with the world, put some effort into it.

Use case seems to just be dicking around, and that is just not worth the resources we pour into it.

Nein, Danke.

Scheint ja gerade nicht ewähnt worden zu sein, vermutlich weil das gerade Teil des Prozesses sein wird: Wie konnte der Mann nach dem Arm greifen, nachdem er schon zurückgewichen ist? Hätte er im nächsten Moment den zweiten Schritt zurück gemacht und die Frau wollte ihre Drohung mit einem Schritt nach vorn unterstreichen? Oder war der Depp nach einen Schritt stehengeblieben und dann den Schritt wieder nach vorne zum Greifen des Armes gegangen?

Wenn Groko schon einen neuen Namen bekommt, kann die CDU sich ja auch gleich eine neue Deutung des C's ausdenken wenn in 30 Jahren keiner mehr Christ ist.

Ich bin für chauvinistisch.
