Summation: boardgames are only tariffed at ~20% and not the 245% they are claiming. It’s only due to incompetence in filing tariff codes that companies doing business in China are getting bent over.

It’s also piss poor management when a multi million dollar company can’t absorb the small cost of additional tariffs when their kickstarter backers essentially funded the entire production run.

TL:DR: Greed and incompetence.

That's the real kicker isn't it. These fucking idiots are playing with free money and still can't turn a profit.

Are you retarded? It turned a profit for the first time in fucking 2001. It made more net profit than Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft last year.

There are always three financial books for a company, the one they shows the public, the one they show the president and specific investors, and the actual one. Google has been living off of outside funding for decades.
