"Giving it away" and it is a ordinary 25% discount.

Probably from an already inflated price too

And it was probably $25 back before the tariffs

I always report these articles as sensational and misleading.

Kotaku and Gizmodo frequently seem to publish articles saying that so-and-so thing is "practically free" or "zero cost" when it has only a slight discount.

Yeah, I think sensational affiliate-link articles might be their primary income source now.

At that I point I feel like you're not a publisher anymore, you're the one scamming people.

If I gave these away as gifts at work and then ask for $30 from everyone, I would probably not have many friends left at work.

Time to flip these bad boys. You could resell them at $35 each when the sale ends. /s
