This isn’t an IGN editorial it’s a statement from the ESA specifically to the trump administration

"Video games are one of the most popular and beloved forms of entertainment for Americans of all ages. Tariffs on video game devices and related products would negatively impact hundreds of millions of Americans and would harm the industry’s significant contributions to the U.S. economy. We look forward to working with the Administration and Congress to find ways to sustain the economic growth supported by our sector."

this wouldn’t just affect pricing, a lot of gaming and entertainment adjacent companies would legit go out of business
