Combo Breaker, an annual fighting games festival that takes place over the Memorial Day weekend in the Chicago area, has been “mortally injured by tariffs” according to the event’s General Manager and Director Rick Thiher.
There used to be a clothing line for fighting gamers that did all of its own screenprinting, made enough money to sponsor players to go to tournaments and wear their merch. This doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem.
Back to wearing proper hats boys. The cheep cloths from China is done. Thinking about it I'm sure the local high school silkscreening shop can give them the child slave labor they need to stay in business.
How did we end up in a world where people openly complain they can't outsource jobs to another country, and they see themselves as the good guys? In previous generations it is unimaginable that people - on the left! - would complain "they're trying to make us use fairly paid, often unionized labour here in our country rather than cheap stuff from another country. We have to stand against this outrage."
Reminder how cucked and woke the "fighting game community" truly is.

Gamers are now simply lamers. Tariffs are stopping your silly weekend of video games? Seriously? Stay in your basements, goobers.
