Nice post.

"I don't really see anything I can disagree with, here, so I'll just report you, instead."

Also, this is based on the company's behaviour for the MMO, so, try harder.

But, you do all realise that, for the past 7-odd years, Aventurine has been living out of the hand of the Greek government, right? Since the Greeks give a GREAT DEAL of tax reductions, health care and grants to unfinished projects.

Hence why Aventurine moved there in 2002. Because, well, they couldn't pay for themselves, so they had to go to another country, in order to reap the benefits of another country's socialist system. Hence the name change.

Now, my question is, are they STILL gaining these benefits, due to the fact they haven't made an open release, or what? I suspect they are, which is an extremely bad offence, and would get the company shut down, probably permanently.

First of all, Greece+socialism = big joke.

The only benefit they have in Greece is that some taxes concerning bussinesses are lower or can be circumvented much easier, plus it's easier to get a bank loan.

The only "socialist" funds they could have a remote chance of getting are the ones the EU gives. Nothing else.

Believe me according to the Greek tax system, what they have is an open release with every obligation that includes.

 

This thread is awesome, no one actually answers the guy from greece.  All European countries are the same afterall

Aaaaand, nothing. ;D

Yeah, I hate the idea of socialism.  Redistrubuting wealth to the lazy turds of the country and having the government control everything is a BAD way to go. Seriously.

The vast majority of the people in America who rant and rave about socialism would also rant and rave if America tried to get rid of Medicare, Welfare, or Social Security.

The simple fact is that America has a great many socialist programs, we just choose to view them in a differant light.

Irreguardless of the country, the programs are paid for by somebody. The answer is, Taxes.  We all pay them, we all get services in return for them.  The biggest diference is, here in America the corporations get to take a sizable slice of the pie as profit while delivering those services.

Actaully in 2006 and 2008 peole who call themselves Americans voted for socialism.

Whats exactely  was the point of this post?

Adventurine sponging off the goverment? Way to many do that now in every country....

Like others have said, here in America we do not use the world socialism but we do have alot of programs based on it.

Why does everyone hate America so much?  Sure we have done our share of shity things but we have done more good then bad.  Considering we spend more money to help other countries then any other and we fund the UN, well most of it. Something like 40% of total UN funding comes from the US.

Any true American will never say we are perfect but it is a great place to live and grow up.  You can become anything you want as long as your willing to put in the effort and hard work. 

Sorry, just had to get that out - As far as Darkfall, cool, I hope more goverments start granding money for technology advancements.   After all, games are more then just entertainment, they also server as training grounds for our military in the form of simulators.

That's correct. Thread locked. This thread is asking for trouble. Not only does it have nothing to do with Darkfall in General but it will just get people into trouble. The title itself is enough to throw a lock on this thread. Also, moved to off-topic.
