There are very few American products that don't have European subsidiaries.

I agree in principle - am I fuck going to foot the bill for America's drunken foreign policy. I'd much rather pay a few quid over what was the going rate to buy something in the UK (to save postage) or the EU.

That said, looks like companies are using this as a "second-Covid" to mask general price increases, a la Microsoft.

It's just absolute bullshit. The only thing keeping me with an Xbox One and a Series S was the Cloud Gaming service, but in don't think I can be arsed with that any more either.
