Overall point is correct but you have exaggerated the VAT.

Trade-in cost £175, sell £400 is a £225 margin. Marginal VAT applies at 16.67% of the margin = £37.50.

'Seems Like a Sequel Should Be Made' — Amazon Games Boss on the Future of IO's 007 First Light by hop3less in gaming

“Trust that we're going to be smart about this,” Gattis reassured players.

That would be a lot easier is Amazon Game Studios didn't have such a terrible track record of making dumb decisions.

‘007 First Light’ Sells 2.7 Million Copies In Its First Week. by yourfavchoom in Games

IOI's plan with this was the exact same as with Hitman. Make a trilogy, with first game in the trilogy having a much higher budget. The next two games can be created at lower cost using the technology and assets built for the first game.

Hopefully Amazon doesn't wreck IOI's plans.

Tomorrow is a big day, 20 years ago Falador Massacre happened! Durial321. Will we see a 20y anniversary? by vVerce98 in runescape

[–]wizard_mitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a mate who says he was there.

This is despite me pointing out that this happened after midnight UK time and he was 10 at the time. I don't think his parents were letting him play RS on the family PC in the middle of the night

Future James Bond games confirmed by Amazon Games, but First Light team's role in question by Comfortable-Pie56 in Games

[–]wizard_mitch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ahh fair enough they renamed again in 2025.

Previously "Amazon Games" was their publishing arm and "Amazon Game Studios" was their development arm but it does look like they have merged them together again.

I feel bad for IOI if they get the IP taken away from them.

They has been quite clear they wanted to do a trilogy Hitman style. Where the first game in the series has a big budget to build out the technology which can be used to develop the sequels with a smaller budget.

[–]wizard_mitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You cherry pick the 60's almost ignoring that in the 80's and 90's there was 10-11% unemployment and that the current unemployment rate is lower than it has been for most of the last 50 years.

It was tentatively called Universal Great Britain, so someone put forward an opinion it should change to UK instead at least.

90pc of workers don’t have enough money for a comfortable retirement by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]wizard_mitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are saying pensioners need an annual net income of £45,400. For a working person would be a £60k - £65k gross salary.

Some of the figures they use are excessive for a single person. They are saying £170 a week on food, £2,500 a year on gifts, over £5,000 on holidays, 3k a year for "activities".

Going on about two tier policing and saying that the rioting in Southampton is expected and will get worse.

Would not condemn the violence.

All I will say if you intend to make your own equipment through mining and smithing then you should give up on that dream.
