Because only 4 Orgs were selected bothered to apply for last year's CitizenCon, this year we've allowed anyone to apply, no Org restriction! :woop:

Anyone know what a "Finale Football league set" is? I Googled it and all I could find were Adidas footballs on sale for, like, 12 pounds.

It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.

So all they have to show is MicroTech?

I mean learning alien languages is cool and all, too bad there are no aliens in the game or for that matter anywhere on the roadmap.

(gently caress sake, prison gameplay will no doubt involve bars of soap)

SC Prison, also known as "Fuzzys Funhouse".

Why does a space game need this poo poo? Do citizens like the thought of being locked up in a game?

Wow, just the same old poo poo. So I guess they really are just going to show off Microtech and make some more excuses for why SQ42 is getting delayed again. Also, I love how they’ve been using their dumb alien language bullshit as filler for years now.

That’s disappointing. I want to see fever dreams and crazy new forms of whale fracking, but it seems like those days are gone.

Backer money being wisely spent. (Probably)

It isn't a limited edition Porsche, but isn't a Tesla a little extravagant for a crowdfunded gamedevs wages? I have almost no interest in little electric cars (round these parts they are reserved for the elderly to get to the shops and are known as 'mobility scooters' and are generally doing 3mph on a pavement getting in everyones way while the lone occupant whistles the "Charge of the light brigade" tune) so I may be judging it completely wrong and they might be super cheap over the pond in Trumpland. I mean I've seen that exact same model of Tesla in my local town and it was being driven by the local MP, so that's all I can judge it on. :shrug:

It’s a model 3 which looks like a model S but costs half as much. The model 3 starts below 40 grand and he said he’d saved a lot to get it.

Ah fair enough, I can't fault him for that, so I retract my initial annoyance of wasted backer money. :)

As a gearhead and lifelong fan of roaring fossil fuel burners, I will call all Teslas regardless of model or performance, "Sinclair C5's". :D

Every year, every fuckin' year, they have another presentation on alien languages. I've never watched any of them. None of them have ever intersected with the game in any way. As far as I know none of them are usable or particularly interesting. It's entirely a facade.

Much like the rest of the roadmap, expect that this schedule is leaving off all of the big pre-recorded surprises that they hope to turn into high-pressure sales at the last minute.

In the UK the VAT should always be included in the price, even if selling overseas.

There are exceptions to the rule but they are very few, games development is not one of these.

It should be included in the price in any advertising/marketing. It should also be charged to everyone, since the event/point of supply to my understanding is an event in Manchester. If they sold tickets for $31.25 and did not collect VAT on top of that, they should end up recording that as
$26.04 sales and handing over $5.21 in VAT as their mistake (converted to £ of course). Their bad.

For US people, generally everyone actually pays the VAT inclusive price, including businesses/companies. If the purchase is a valid business expense by a VAT registered business, they can reclaim the VAT paid on their purchases (usually just offset against VAT they collect on their sales).

Imagine if instead of having sales tax applied at the checkout, it was included in the price on the price tag for each item.

That's how VAT works in the U.K.
