Sachys: Wait... Mays so desperate for approval shes renting herself out as a coffee table now?! O____o

As to the OP, its actually a good question. While I doubt we'd have access cut immediately, theres no real plans in place for anything should we crash out.

darthspudius: "Crash Out" I guess you're a fan of the BBC judging by that wording.
nope. exact opposite. just trying to use a term others can understand according to what has been reported aroound the world.
Juncker will take away your games and redistribute them to Germanz.

Don't worry. The very notion of "moving country" will be soon illegal anyway. Because... freedom. Or something. Hashtag build the brexit etc.

HeathGCF: Nevertheless, I still hope that people back in the UK are somehow able to halt this entire mess, once and for all. Especially given the division and uncertainty it's caused for so many millions of people.

darthspudius: and after we halt it, lets halt every other political vote after that we don't agree with. Yes, lets just screw millions of people out of their vote. Yes, wonderful idea.
You mean like a host of British citizens such as myself within the 15 years eligibility limit and registered to vote, living and working in the EU, who were screwed out of their right to vote in the last referendum? What about the voice of EU citizens, resident, paying taxes and contributing in the UK, who were left without a voice?

Rather than an "advisory" referendum that wasn't intended to be legally binding, wouldn't it be better to gauge the true "will of the people" with an official vote based on facts rather than lies or guesswork and uncertainty, which is also fully monitored by the UK Electoral Commission, legally binding, definitive and final? After all, the government and parliamentary politicians have hardly reached any definitive outcome, after wasting more than two years, have they?

That's something I would respect entirely, irrespective of the final outcome, because it would be a more trustworthy democratic process.

While I'm completely with you here, you might want to be careful how political you get. I recently got a warning for "talking politics" so it seems like they're actually enforcing it nowadays.

Doc0075: Nonsense thread, someone has clearly bought into Project Fear where our whole world is going to come crashing down around us when we leave the EU.
I'm a realist

So lets talk reality.

I recently bought a T-Shirt for the states

First I had to pay in Dollars, there was a fee from my bank to convert the cash

Second I had to pay import tax and handling charge.

A $15 t-Shirt became a £25 T-shirt (without shipping)


Also recent changes in Tax laws, stopped many small traders from selling outside of US as they are liable for collecting international taxes.

BUT BUT BUT,
people are buying GoG games outside the EU.
Steam Users buying games in the EU

Yes they are,
Because GoG has a legal presence in the US for Tax/Legal purposes , likewise Valve has an office in Luxemburg.

As far as I understand, If you sell to Hard Brexit Britain may need a legal presence here.

But if not, what happens

GBP won't be legal tender to GoG + no free movement of money.
How do I pay? In Euro's, with my bank changing transfer fees.

No free transfer of goods, how will that get taxed and when.

What about existing licenses? Is my license the good, is the installer goods too?
If the installer is classified as goods, can I redownload?

No country has ever done this before and the arrogance of dismissing a million unknowns as "project fear" is laughable.

I expect full answers with citation please.

The problems are caused by the UK here.

Banks fees are because of banks and it was a problem before when trying to buy goods in euros or zloty.
The handling charge is a legal grey area from what I've seen.
That leaves import tax and the VAT (sales tax) on the product,import tax and shipping which the conservative government bumped up.

ussnorway: this is what happens when the unwashed are asked to vote without telling them what they are really voting for
Which is every election.

If that wasn't the case, the EU wouldn't exist.

You're advocating for non-citizens to have a vote?

Like the lies, guesswork and uncertainty of the remainer campaign, aka the Seven Plagues of Egypt - British Edition? It just so happens that your worldview isn't shared by most of your fellow countrymen.

You are being disingenuous. Parliament is composed by a majority of Remainers who are dragging their feet and pulling out all the stops to make Brexit not happen, or turn it into a pyrrhic victory out of sheer spite.

Good news, Sachys! If Italy has it's way, Brexit will become entirely moot. ;p

mechmouse: there is still too high of a chance that we could leave with No Deal.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: Actually there isn't, but there should be, as WTO No Deal would be great, and that's what 17.4 million people voted for, and that's the only real/actual Brexit possibility.
Yeah... it really isn't, but I'm aware the media in the US isn't exactly reliable. At the time of the campaign even the brexit campaign was stating a No Deal scenario was extremely unlikely to happen because the EU would be falling over itself to sign a deal. The margin for victory was only a couple percent. It's nonsense 95% of those people voted for a WTO deal brexit when the possibility of that happening was being pretty much dismissed as fear mongering when the vote happened.
