To be fair, most economics is purely ‘because they can’ with ‘they’ being shitheads in the owning class. if anything games (and most industries for that matter) should be going through a healthy period of deflation now (tariffs excluded) if not for said shitheads.
We’ve all seen Emil talk about his total lack of process and the general way he does things. Todd has said before he doesn’t play games but inserts himself into random parts of development. The studio is led by total buffoons.
No way, these ‘think of the children’ type bullshit laws are always about hurting the smaller guys. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t need to couche it in crappy parenting.
Pokemon fans are some of the dumbest people in fandom. They will take bottom tier slop with a smile and get upset when you suggest that maybe the highest grossing franchise in human history should maybe do a little bit better. The reborn lineage of games is the only thing keeping me from abandoning the franchise entirely.

Isn’t the point of a trade secret that it can’t be legally protected? It’s secret because there is no consequence for another company using it if they find out
I’m no expert, but; its retaliation. Harm for harm. Hell maybe even a pride thing. They do hurt China to some extent (in a vague capitalistic sense), it’s just worse for America.
Edit: their tariffs might not hurt them as much as ours hurt us, either. They do, what, A third of the planets manufacturing or something? They’ll be far less invested in imports than America is.
The tariffs could be cancelled out right and prices would still rise due to market insecurity or a similar buzzword. Tariffs are objectively bad in almost every situation and this was always going to hurt everyone, corpos are also objectively bad and always going to hurt everyone.
The people in charge are, genuinely, not human. They don’t have basic reasoning skills nor the human experience that label requires. A decapitated chicken could make better decisions than the average suit, the suit just has enough money to force it.
