Quite a few publishers have written about their costs and how the tariffs impact them. The actual cost of a $90 game is something like $15, and the rest is labor, distribution costs, and profit. I personally think the distribution costs are way too high and could stand to drop a lot, but I don’t know the details well enough to comment. Regardless, there’s no reasonable way to drop the manufacturing costs significantly.
