Nicole Carpenter and Diego Argüello, reporting for Game Developer:

“There was a specific window of time this year where we charged
tariffs to customers,” Panic co-founder Cabel Sasser explained in
an e-mail to Game Developer confirming the news. “We tried
absorbing the cost for a while, but that was financially difficult
for a small company like ours. We made the tariff a very obvious
and clearly labeled line item on checkout for any customer
affected.”

Panic also set up a website to explain the 19% tariff surcharge.
[…] The refund amount a customer will get back depends on how
much they purchased.

“It’s just not our money to keep, and it felt really good to give
it back,” Sasser said. “That’s an easy way to know you made the
right decision.”

He continued: “Still, it took a lot of work for us to file all the
paperwork to get the refund from the government, and it took work
to build a little system to process the refund, and sometimes it
felt like, wait, why are we seemingly doing more work than even
gigantic companies are on this issue? That felt weird. But I guess
it makes sense in a way, because our small size means we’re far
more directly affected by something like a tariff.”

Sasser said he hopes Panic never has to talk about tariffs again.

Cool story from a cool company, and amen to the day we never hear about tariffs again.
