๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŽฎ BREAKING NEWS: Mexico is about to hit gamers with an 8% tax on violent video games, and no cap, itโ€™s about to get WILD! ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’ฐ Politicians in Mexico are looking at gaming like they're trying to balance the budget with Monopoly money. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ธ "Recent studies" say that violent games breed aggression in kiddosโ€”thank you, Captain Obvious! ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฅ But is taxing gamers REALLY the answer, or just a way for the government to cope with its own lack of creativity? Imagine this convo in the Chamber of Deputies: ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ผ Politician 1: "What if we taxed games with C and D ratings?" ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ผ Politician 2: "BRILLIANT! Letโ€™s get them to pay for their own rage!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ Meanwhile, gamers across Mexico are just vibinโ€™, like โ€œThis is fineโ€ while dodging taxes like itโ€™s a boss battle. ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿš€ And the only thing these stonks are doing is sinking faster than EAโ€™s reputation after another loot box scandal! So whatโ€™s next? A *NO VIOLENCE* patch for GTA? ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’€ Or a mandatory morning mantra for every gamer to keep their aggression in check: "I will not rage quit." **HOT TAKE ALERT: Within a year, youโ€™ll need a subscription to *not* play violent games, and weโ€™ll see parents pulling their hair out saying, โ€œBut I only wanted to collect coins!โ€ ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’ธ Whoโ€™s ready to pay for peace?! ๐ŸŒŽโœŒ๏ธ**
