EVE General Discussion

That doesn't break it down. How does CCP keep track of which places it can be switched on for and which it can't?

You can block an IP from an aspect of the game, but how are you going to track which ones?

I keep track of legislative changes (in a completely different subject area, not gambling related) regionally to help keep the relevant countries compliant with treaty obligations. It's a nightmare just on a regional level of 34 countries, let alone Worldwide.

well if nobody mined then there would be none on the market lol

Instead of going to the shop and just buying some fish to take home and eat tomorrow, I'm going to go to the shop, buy some fish and worms, go to a pier, spend 8 hours fishing and catch some fish to take home and eat. Sometimes it can be fun to take your time.

That you can't find the relevant legislation is exactly the sort of problem that CCP would face.

You can argue all you want that it's all the same. We are both space lawyering here and not from any solid foundation to do so. What both of us are talking about are based on our layman views. Trying to suggest anything more is stupid.

I know the things I am aware of in relation to my country, but I'm not a lawyer and I certainly don't know the finer details of how responsibility for different aspects falls under the law. Until something is actually tested in a court then any position is just opinion.

So arguing this is just stupid. It's not as simple as CCP could replace all 3rd party gambling by including it in WiS. it's more complex then that. How much more complex. **** knows but I certainly don't take confidence just because you say so. That would be the last thing I would ever do, since most discussions with you are just circular arguments that go nowhere.

So true. Now leave and close the door using only spaceship with warp drive. Not even with legs.
Hands. We have hands. Dont use them. You could make something useful.

Its also worth noting the fuss over corporate logos. It's not sufficient to say a given law does or doesn't effect a given situation - what matters is whether CCP's lawyers (the people paid to ensure they comply with all relevant laws) is satisfied that everything has been complied with. Like the corp-logo internet lawyers, you can provide whatever evidence you like to claim whatever you like til your blue in the face, but if CCP's lawyers aren't 100%, its just noise, and CCP wont risk massive law-suits on say so from laymen (or even the say-so of fully qualified experts in the field - if you are not their paid fully-qualified experts in the field your word means less than nothing on the subject).

It is that simple. CCP already have gambling in their game. It's already possible to do and even supported by them at official events. But like how games like clicker heroes allows you to buy in game tokens then gamble them for in game items, paying for a game service then playing that game is in itself not gambling. Consider how many games you play that allow you to buy in-game currency or items then use that in games of chances within that game. Are they all 18+ with gambling licenses? Doubt it. If them adding it as part of WiS were somehow limited by legislation that nobody seems to have documented, then it would already be limited by that legislation in it's current form.

LOL. Because, context in situations.

You really need to get some perspective.

Now, now he never said that, he just said he takes photos.

Not very good ones though as one normally dedicates more than "less than a second" to composition, light metering and exposure selection.

You are welcome.
