Get your facts straight and I may continue with answering to your distraction in this thread. But please start to get your facts straight. You write: "That one is from 2001" No it is not, the date on that Patent Aplication is from June 19, 2003.
Why do you not comment on the later Information from the
Post from Marco Behrmann who was back then Managing Director? It is from 2006 so it is newer than your 2001 which is 2003 reverence. He states what I also wrote and you allways say is not true. So either you are wrong and the back then managing director was right or you are a know it all who owns Mindark and changed everyrthing without changing ToU, replacing service with game, changed how MA makes money etc.
It seams like Quanon, you insist on some made up things and reiterate it again and again and then you say it is fact when all the real facts say something different.
Like your reasoning that this is now called a Game because in a Job description the word game developer is mentioned. So a Job Description superseeds the ToU and changes the Companys description? Really, as mentioned get your facts straight and come back until then I will ignore you as a troll who wants to get this thread locked so the Yog abusers are out of visibility.
If you are working for MA you may have the knowledge but as you are not it is speculation from your side. And as decay gives MA their revenue stream, like its managing director mentioned, it is a thing they have certainly programmed better than other things.
All things that decay and so generate income for MA will have to be logged by the System so they can show it to tax authorities if they have a audit or a user of their service goes to court and they have to prove to the juge how it is.
Get my facts straight... ok, the patent is from July 16 2001 in Europe, the link you got is from US 2003. In that document is a point within
brackets with number 22, with date 16th of july 2001. You failed to see that obviously.
I've seen a shitload of posts from MArco, and his hyping of things, and "not so real " text. No I didn't took his posts and believed in every word
since we had to "read between the lines" occasionly. The scheme in the patent is about how system works up until today. MArco was right in that
decay and fees created their income, but not from decay it self, since that value is monopoly value. RL income comes from depos.
Revenue stream in decay here doesn't mean RL value, it means a core feature to create the need of depos.
If we had RL values ingame we had been forced to declare that to tax authority, which we don't.
Ok I try again, since you didn't get it: a lot of my info isn't from me, its collected from tax authority, gambling authority, MindArk, swedish
companies registration office and so on, collected a lot of info through the years, and not always specificaly about MindArk but gaming
companies in general. Several times it have been about other games, both excisting and projects that could be cloned from excisting
games and become something like a RCE, but it still fits EU.
You could find some info online, and info that you can't find, call all authoritys and ask around. At some authorities you have to have an
account, and some info has a fee. Non of the info I've got from where I had to create an account and/or pay a fee will be shared, since
it is against agreements with respective authority.
It isn't due to a job description, its due to changes in laws, up until last change in 2019, where we suddenly got info about loot system
just before that new law came, but that is another topic though. If service is still there in ToU/EULA there is probably a good reason why,
either they haven't bothered to change it since it doesn't matter anymore in sweden, or it could be due some countries still need to see
EU as a service since their laws are similar to how ours were. Ofc, there could be a lot of more reasons for it to be there.
Some core features are probably really well written, they are very old afterall.
But tools I mention isn't about creating core features,
its about a higher level. This is done in every VFX and game company, to increase efficieny in pipline.
Looking at your posts, both here and others, you aren't a HSP are you?
