Heres a quick review for Maelstrom  No not the other 3 games called Maelstrom that came out in the last 15 years. This is the Maelstrom that involves orc, human and elf in pirate battles This is 15 person FFA naval battles, or you can do 5 teams of 3. There is 9 different ships with different powers and crew and captain unlockables. (no cash show, it takes in game grind) The games are quick (10-15 minutes if you win) and they are fast paced. You have different abilities in game. 1st shot does damage, 2nd shot damages the crew,3rd will kill the sails. Over all its a fun game for $17.99 . The community is decent with around 900 peak players so far. Turd Herder fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Apr 19, 2018 |

How does tax work on US steam? I heard one reason US games were cheaper is that the sales tax isn’t automatically included in the listed prices, but rather added at the checkout.

Every time a new sailing game comes out that isn't a modern Sid Meier's Pirates! sandbox, I die a little inside. I just want a modern Pirates! game  (That doesn't suck)

This is correct when I lived in Washington. A $50 game would be roughly $54.50 when I went to checkout because of sales tax. Not sure about other states though.

Sales tax isn’t regulated nationally, so businesses only have to collect sales tax in states they have offices. If they don’t, the consumer has to figure out how much tax they owe. My state lets you add on some small percentage of your income to the normal income tax if you don’t have all your receipts. A very large number of people don’t actually pay this and get very mad whenever Congress tries to regulate it as if it’s some brand new tax they’re imposing instead of making it harder for them to evade their taxes.

Does anyone have recommendations for good go-to games to play for a fun (not frustrating) 15-30 minutes at a time? These can be games that have missions/levels that take that amount of time to complete, or free save games in which you can accomplish a satisfying amount of tasks in that time (trying to avoid the one.more.turn situation of Civ games).

Devs might as well get inspiration from Black Friday and make Supermarket: Battlegrounds. 100 people enter, but only one will get to do the shopping. Instead of a decreasing game area, you are forced to buy a random highly discounted item within a specific timeframe, so if you fail to do it, you automatically lose.

https://jade.io/article/578176 Volvo lost their final appeal today. Are they going to do as they're required? Including pay a AUD$3 million penalty / fine. Basically involves setting up a support phone line for Australians to use. And having in big font that Valve breached Australian Consumer Law. This could be quite funny.

Faeria is a F2P deck construction/hex-based strategy game. Doesn't take long to knock off a match or two against the AI or other players, and you get a sense of progression from getting new cards to play with.

I think I've about wrung all the fun I'm gonna get out of Everspace. Fantastic fun overall. I guess I can still be a sucker for repeating-restarts-but-you-gradually-get-stronger-anyway games like it and Rogue Legacy after all. Much else out there like it right now? Bonus points for spacey or scifi but I'm not picky, I just need something to do until probably BattleTech next week

https://www.kansspelautoriteit.nl/publish/pages/4957/onderzoek_naar_loot_boxes_-_een_buit_of_een_last_-_eng.pdfThe Netherlands posted:The Netherlands Gaming Authority has completed its study of loot boxes, also known as ‘crates’, ‘cases’ or ‘packs’. Loot boxes are a type of treasure chest that are built into a growing number of games. Loot boxes in games create a mixing of games of chance and games of skill. Although the outcome of games is determined by skill, the outcome of loot boxes is determined by chance. Players usually has to pay for a loot box. The prize that they can win with loot boxes may also have a monetary value. This fact gave rise to the question of whether loot boxes are permitted on the grounds of the Betting and Gaming Act (Wet op de kansspelen). The Netherlands Gaming Authority was also interested in whether addiction risks are NOS posted:Dat geldt in ieder geval voor deze populaire games: Fifa18, Dota2, PubG en Rocket League.

If Rocket League offered a box-type lootcrate (meaning every time you open one, you are guaranteed a new item from the collection until you get them all), then that'd be a welcome change. At least they offer decryptors regularly for free. Lootcrates are cancer.

I'm morbidly curious about it, but I want to see if anyone bit the bullet despite the bad reputation I've been enjoying the Capcom Heroes story mode of it. I didn't even bother with the regular story. I especially enjoy Dante Frank and Viewtiful Frank.   E: The beginning area has bad performance (Prologue/Case 0). I have a 1080, so I'm assuming I'm powering through some unoptimization for the rest of the game. Jamfrost fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Apr 19, 2018 |

Without any doubt, the real effects of decisions like this are never clear until years down the line and there's always more collateral damage than you initially think. I do wonder what'll replace loot boxes in the scenario that they'll get straight-up eradicated though, because people who think we'll just go back to the way things used to be are in for a disappointment.

Not too much needs to change. The study specifically mentions that those four fail to meet existing legal standards because the items are transferable through a real-money market, essentially making them digital pachinko prizes, and are not won in a game of skill. The six that pass legal standards do so purely because the items are not transferable. Simply making items nontransferable so there's no secondary market, or introducing some element of skill to influence the box's content would make the lootboxes 'acceptable' under their gambling laws.

Probably a few broken scotch glasses at the Invictus household, mind... If I had to make a wild prediction and get all TV Psychic on your asses, I'm going to predict that this will lead to an official version of those "trade-items-you-don't-like-for-items-you-actually-want" services that float around using Steam's Trade Offer system, with an eye towards keeping Artifact's apparent focus on card trading without getting phone calls at 3am from increasingly-obscure European government agencies.

That’s asuming the durch market share is big enough to be significant, or they could just stop selling their game there.
