DaveKap posted:Ultimately I think Prey's branding, which I agree was what most led to its weak sales (as much credit as I give marketing, they aren't the sole saviors or failures when it comes to game sales,) happened because someone outside of marketing made the decision to co-opt a former IP in order to make it seem like the game was a sequel. You know, that one attribute that apparently makes a game sell more than usual. I wouldn't be surprised if marketing saw what happened and disagreed that it was a good idea, as their foresight over such things were being guessed at by an executive trying to look smart. Maybe that executive is the Founder/President of Arkane Studios who had to resign after Prey sales were so bad. I don't really know but I wouldn't be surprised. Nah, I don't think the demand for AAA RPG shooter hybrids is that much these days when DX:MD which doesn't have a sequel identity crisis problem also sold poorly. I put them with the dead men walking genres like RTSes and MMOs.

So I just had a discussion with someone who works with digital sales and they did not realize that WA pays taxes on Steam purchases. The reason I had this discussion was because I wondered about the answer to a question and since they didn't know, I'll now pose it here. WA residents pay taxes on Steam (based in WA) purchases. CA residents do not pay taxes on Humblebundle.com (based in CA) purchases (or Steam for that matter.) What's the cause for this? Is it a WA law that insists digital goods should be taxed for WA residents or a CA law that exempts physical goods or something else entirely? And to that end, do WA residents pay taxes on purchases from Humblebundle.com?

Digital products appear to be exempt from sales tax in California as long as no physical product accompanies the purchase. http://www.boe.ca.gov/formspubs/pub109/ quote:Products electronically transmitted to customers
