WTF BROS?

Oh no, it's too late, this entire city must be audited.

>Businesses tax evade
And dogs bark, so what?

Corporate cuck.

Corporate taxes are retarded anyway. This is agreed upon by most economists. You tax what you want to discourage, you don't want to discourage growing a business.
Not to mention these taxes are mostly passed on to employees and customers when paid at all.
We should abolish the corporate tax and institute a consumption tax.

Consumption taxes burden the poor the most you disgusting cuck.

Blizzard are a shell of what they started out as, it's kind of sad really.

They were such a loved company that they have fanfests, not to a game but to their company. They won't go on much longer the horrible state of them.

Damn. The company that invented and popularized lootboxes, storefront cosmetics, brain-dead mass skinnerboxes, "paying for server access", games-as-service, etc, evaded taxes!?!? Boys, say it ain't so.

What a cuck omg.

>Blizzard are a shell of what they started out as, it's kind of sad really.

This. It is shocking how far they have fell. They shit on their players now. They've turned psycho.

The game is beyond sterile now, it is now anti-matter.

Stop being poor, nigger. Oh wait, you can't.

COMMIES CRYIN AHAHAHA

The poor should die.

>You tax what you want to discourage
So ActiBlizzard then?

Can I see your diploma?

*unzips penis*

Gotta have some cash in reserve to keep feeding loot box bootlickers like you happy senpai.

>Nooooo!!! The government EARNED that tax money!!! How could they do this to us bros???

OwO

So when are we going to murder the plutocrats and replace them with technocrats? Why do people stand for this shit?

somehow this is the fault of women and gamer girls

We should take all the money from people and give it to corps and the elites, it's the only economic model that makes sense.

>zoomers don't understand how any of this is bad
I swear, we're raising fucking degenerates and nobody's realizing it, being so fucking stupid should be illegal

>rules don't apply to the rich!?
ah, youth finally matures.

based!
Success should not be punished.

Never since they have the money, weapons, etc.

Don't forget to pay for classic WoW subscription this month, goy.

>the generation exposed to corporate PRopaganda the most is uncritical to it
I told you, dawg. But in turn I was accused of subverting Western civilisation

>So when are we going to murder the plutocrats and corporate tax dodgers
Pay me!. Equipment, travel & time isn't free.

Everyone knows its bad, there's just nothing any of us can do about it. I haven't bought an Actiblizz game in a fucking decade, hasn't had much of an effect.

technocrats are also plutocrats

>poor people have to source and pay local taxes on every dollar they earn
>elite pay next to nothing on billions by changing their address heading

>Get taxed on my wage
Why the fuck don't they want me to work?

>You tax what you want to discourage
So when is income tax and sales tax being abolished?

This. Abolish roads and firemen and hospitals right along side that, we don't need taxes.

Clearly the only answer is even more liberal laws and taxes for corporations and their leaders payed for by increasing taxes on the population even more.

It would be nice if they actually used the money to maintain roads instead of on foreign aid and pointless shit like that. Can't speak for calling the fire department but calling an ambulance has a huge fee of its own.

Bureaucrat cuck.

>game cost 60 bucks
>charges you extra for tax
>tax evades

?????

Ambulances fees make sense if you knew how ambulation worked. Every retard calls for over a stubbed toe and every person that's drunk or fucked up on drugs and there's usually two tiers:
1. The co-pays, which is cheap, usually 20-50$.
2. The massive fee when it's deemed medically unnecessary which costs hundreds or dollars.
This is how it works in first world countries. You can't have everyone calling the ambulance over everything for free or you'd bankrupt the country in a year.

>how dare these huge corporations ruin and streamline classic game franchises, fill them with microtransactions and shove degenerate gay propaganda in them
>but can we really fault them for tax evasion? give them a break, so what

of course NOW the company is activision blizzard and not just "blizzard"....

>"""(((Classic game franchises)))"""
>Skinnerboxes and shit with terrible *clicks* gameplay.
kek

>Skinnerboxes and shit with terrible *clicks* gameplay.
what do you think "ruin classic game franchises" means

You can't ruin turds. That's what the """classic franchises""" were.

Most "poor" houses have fridges and phones, spoiled fakers always looking for handouts and money just because they work at the expense of the struggling business man

it's fine being in the tiny minority of thinking the original warcrafts, starcrafts and diablo were shit I guess

>he thinks state taxes are the only taxes that exist

brainlet

play albion online, it's the best mmorpg i've played yet.

All shit gameplay except SC.

jews gonna jew

>replace them with technocrats
hopefully you are pretending to be retarded

Why can't the rich just pay taxes like the normal folk?

valve?

CPA here. Literally every competent company does this.

>blizzard are the good gu-

Paying taxes is for losers.
Prove me wrong.

well you techies have to start it

to be fair, wow was made with team like 70 guys, including server dudes and they made better product than company consisting of 10,000 employees, they've got plenty of leeway to cut from

>peddle leftist propaganda for free publicity for idiots
>avoid paying the taxes such policies entail
Every single time.

No shit. Corporations are owned by people that lean right, but in society right now it's better to pander to the left for easy money.
Glad you retards are finally figuring this out.

>a literal downie calling others retard
Thanks for the laughs I guess.

Molten Core was made in like a weekend too.

>Why can't the rich just pay taxes like the normal folk?
Learning how to not pay taxes is how you get rich.

It's a pretty consistent theme that adding more people slows down progress.
That's why most projects that need large teams split them into mostly independent cells almost like a military would.

The sad thing is even if Classic was a big hit they would bloat up the skeleton team and the same thing would happen anyways.

techno rats?

Molten core is also not really technically challenging raid, which i suppose is good thing
rather than having lfr and shit, blizzard should've just made easier raids, such as mc, where lackeys of current tiers baddies reside

Are you surprised? They and millennials are the same generations that are demanding they get everything free from the government, as if the government magically makes everything out of thin air.

t. has never left America even once

Thats why when they removed end game progression with 3.2 the game started to die, when you have something new to see at end game it gives you a reason even as a casual player to keep playing, maybe you'll get to do illidan, or arthas, or whoever the next big bad boss is, and the autistic poopsockers who server first everything can keep farming the loot that actually holds value because it isn't invalidated by next patch.

But with 3.2 making ulduar a worthless tier thanks to badge gear and dungeon loot being on par if not better then ulduar gear, and continuing that trend without fixing the issue really ruined the game.

Now you can 'beat' an entire expansion in a weekend if it wasn't time gated because there is no end game progression.

There is literally nothing wrong with domiciling in a low-tax jurisdiction.

i find it's more surprising if a big company doesn't doe this

This. To encourage employment we should abolish income tax.

You watch your tone with me IRS, you may be powerful but I am still your superior as a financial crimes investigation agency

>income tax is abolished
>income decreases by tax amount
For a better future!
You know I'm right, It's irrelevant how bullshit society is.
