For sure, especially in the USA. But then that means demand dropping as a result of this, which means companies may drop prices to compete, unless it feeds all resources especially silicone in to AI initiatives alone, but even that bubble may pop soon.Eh, we'll be putting our food down soon enough, too.
No, nobody with half a brain is going to blame piracy. Economists and business analysts have already said that the Switch 2 is likely to fail in the US because the price of all electronics are going to balloon before it launches. Everyone in the industry knows this, everyone paying attention knows this, and its been in the news so much that only lunatics will blame piracy. And the rest of the gaming industry will suffer along with Nintendo with the possible exception of Steam.
Can't really comment on that further, as per forum rules. But if you do anything that involves purchasing electronics and the like, you should know that this is what is projected to happen soon.
I know china is doing all it can to hedge this in some way, as this is why they released Deep Seek as opensource, and are making a push with companies such as minisforum to release affordable products to users in the west, but then it may come down to tax on said products.
The landscape is changing, and while we cannot speak on the politics, we can at least look at the playing field and what improvements we can lobby towards, in all parts of the world, towards not only game preservation, but better business and sustainable growth on both the customer and the company sides.
RE: food ref, 100%, but this i why on that note homestead and buying simpler foods and cooking ones own meals may have to be the way forward.

On the note on piracy and using this as an excuse, they will always claim this, even if it is stupid! why?
1) optics,
2) they may have allowed losses related to it / insurance to claim on it. Just like the whole idea of data loss, rather then admit incompetence, (i have proved this for companies i have pen tested for, and signed nondisclosure for), will claim "data breach" and "hack", and hide the evidence.
