  No.

  I have a Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 2, and a gaming PC with accounts at all major pc gaming storefronts.

  Allow me to say again, Valve is not innocent.

  Valve is not innocent.

  What is “fully modded” Skyrim as opposed to partially modded Skyrim?

  It was also free, unlike Concord.

  I saw a preview that likened it more to Pokémon Viva Piñata, which honestly sounds awesome.

  The vast majority of states do not tax food items.

  On food items, yes.

  I can also admit that there could be unicorns on Pluto, because it’s nigh impossible to prove a negative.

  I recently replayed Warrior Within as well.

  I should say, there’s still plenty of modern games that don’t involve those kinds of things.

  You still get the tax deduction if you donate at the till, fyi. The store does not (nor would it make any sense to, anyway - if they claim it as profit, then claim it as donation, the net is zero).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whatever tf this is⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was genuinely fun to drive and use on Assassin’s Creed.

  I’m not okay with basically anything that occurs under capitalism, but I have limited time on this earth and I have to pick and choose my battles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all hate this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, and I did not repudiate that. It is a bargain that I think is worth striking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all hate this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I donate a fair bit of money relative to my income bracket. Sometimes it’s directly to places that need it. Sometimes it’s by donating goods instead of money. Sometimes it’s by entering raffles at work, or buying candy from kids at the store, or a coupon book from veterans.

  And sometimes it’s by donating at the till. Look, corpos suck. But one of the only good things they do is solicit donations at the till.

  Stores process thousands and thousands of transactions a day, and if even only a handful of those people decide to round up or add a little bit more on top, it adds up to so much money for good causes that I guarantee would not otherwise ever get donated.

  And please, please can we put this myth to rest: in no country that I am aware of can a company claim your donations on their taxes. Those donations are yours and yes, you can claim them on your taxes if you are willing to do the work of keeping the receipt and itemizing your deductions. I do this every single year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all hate this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies collecting donations on your behalf cannot use them as tax deductions. Those are your tax deductible donations and if you do desired, you could keep your receipt and claim them on your taxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all hate this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do not get tax credits for this. That’s not how taxes work (if they claimed the donations as profit, then donated them, it would be a net zero gain).

  The donations are yours. You can claim them on your own taxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all hate this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This old myth still… They do not get any tax benefits. That’s not how taxes work. The donation is your donation. You can claim it on your own taxes if you itemize deductions.

  Free to play games are similar to old shareware though… You get to play some of it for free then pay for the rest.

  I understand the sentiment here but let’s note that you do not go buy Skate. because it’s free to play.

  I’ve seen multiple articles state that Crimson Desert has no microtransactions.

  I’m willing to give any control scheme a chance. The first time I ever played Dark Souls, or Monster Hunter Tri, both of those felt obtuse. Now they both feel like home.

  Generally speaking, the people complaining are not the people doing the buying.

  I mean, not really. Nintendo has been fairly consistent about rereleasing old titles for many many years now.
