Less than two weeks after announcing the Trump administration of high taxes in history for almost all goods imported into the United States, the Games industry of the Board of Directors appeared for an unexpected calculation. A survey of the AD Hoc industry conducted by Edison cardboard shows that nearly a quarter of the exploration publishers will simply stop making the Council game. Most believe that the price for the published games will increase, and the scale and complexity of those games will decrease. It was a gloomy situation for what was once a part of the game industry on the tablet larger, one of the decades that created hundreds of millions of dollars for the US economy.
Edison cards are a small publisher famous for annual game design awards. Its survey, conducted on November 9, collected answers from 62 publishers. The company stated that about 90%of the respondents said they hope the consumer prices in the game on the table will increase because of the tariff, and about two -thirds of the publishers said the printing running for those games would be smaller. 62% of publishers said they plan to sign fewer new games for their categories, which means less opportunities for traditional tablet designers to operate like independent contractors. In the most tragic way, the group said that 23% – nearly a quarter – who responded said they would stop making games on the board completely.
However, the biggest red flag in the survey is that publishers who want to try and stay in the game business are actively seeking to cut distributors and retailers from the equation. When the profit rate decreases due to tariff costs, is a tax, selling retail games using traditional logistics simply will not be an option. Brick and mortar shops, including thousands of independent local game shops across the country, is likely that there will not be many games on the board to put on their shelves in the future.
