  • a lot of savings

    Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

    So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

    Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

    I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

    My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.




  • Convince people that we are stronger together and that we need to vote against politics that are against EU and pro nationalists.

    I mean, I’ve heard people in France telling me they don’t want to put money in the army to fight for Ukraine because they are not concerned. Or saying they don’t want to share the nuclear umbrella with the rest of Europe. Or whatever shit about “my country first, Europe/EU last”.


  • It’s only half a joke. Until Europe creates something unified it remains true.

    For a time France was considering a “Cultural tax” to fight against torrenting etc. The idea was to pay a fixed fee like 10 or 15€ a month that gave you access to everything in legal streaming. It would have been perfect and people would have pay for it instead of illegally downloading.

    Then Netflix came and took that market, then all others mega corporations wanted their share of the money and streaming went to shit and sent us back to the initial issue.

    The problem today is that even if we had such a general platform, plenty of right owners would refuse it to favor their own network platform.
