The question here was if RuneScape gold is a product or if it is legal tender. If it was legal tender then you don’t pay VAT on it, similar to when if you trade one currency to another VAT is not applied.
Even if they went that way (good luck with that), doesn’t that mean farming gold regularly and for profit should still be registered as a professional activity? Or at least the result of it declared as revenue?
I’ve played the first two Discworld point and click games. Let me tell you, I might have believed you if you told me that was a true hint for the first one.
Even knowing the books it got its inspiration from won’t help you with some of its “puzzles”.
Who asked for this? Beyond Microsoft executives who want to justify their paycheck, I mean.
Though really there might be good entertainment value for a few streamers out there. Use it on a niche game or a fairly complex one and laugh at the inevitable hallucinated bullshit as the assistant pretends to know about it.
Edit : just read it was on a “list of supported games”. Booo. Cowards.
Not sure I want that after the reviews, which is a shame because a good fantasy city builder is something I’d pay for. But I wouldn’t want to invest time in an unfinished game that’s turning to a mobile idle thing model.
But I am a bit curious about how they are doing this. I don’t think Steam allows different pricing from the wishlist, do they?
Did they just hide the free base game purchase leaving only paid options on the store page? It’s looking like that, technically you can’t buy “Leviathan’s fantasy” alone from the store, only paid bundles (with the new version? and weirdly, this makes Leviathan’s fantasy cost money inside that bundle making it more expensive? so confusing).
Seems to me he and Gearbox have been in lots of shit for a while now (the infamous USB drive, serious plagiarism accusations when Borderlands did an artistic 180 during development, Alien : Colonial Marines released broken as hell after funneling its funding to make BL2, Duke Nukem Forever…)
And every time Pitchford’s (mostly unnecesary) public answer has been terrible.
Switch still have them. Of course now some publishers on Switch 2 are shitting on the very concept of cartridges by making empty carts that are just keys to download the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 became my favourite entry in the series because of how it still has light, silly moments, improbable vistas and absurd world building, but when it tries for dark, it hits hard (and to be honest it’s generally a good deal darker than the other games even from the beginning).
Previous episodes had their emotional moments, but nothing comes close to one particular scene in 3.
