be Political parties and the tax on arcade games

Political parties and the tax on arcade games Belgians will vote on May 26. As you probably know, the use of arcade machines is subject to a tax in the form of a sticker called "tax on automatic amusement devices". This tax is to be paid in addition to the VAT paid at the time of purchase of the machine and to the revenue tax on the income generated by the machine if it is equipped with a coin mechanism. At the time of eSports, Retro-gaming and smartphones, this tax is no longer necessary. Especially since the arcades of the time have become mini-casinos, the bars have replaced arcade machines with bingos and eSports bars are equipped with home consoles. Today, this tax hits only small operators and enthusiasts. This anachronistic tax has been abolished in France in 2015 and in Flanders this year. In Belgium, the Region of Brussels and Wallonia are the only remaining places where the tax is not only still applicable but is also increased each year. It has been a long time since we denounce the unfairness of this imposition which will ultimately lead to the total disappearance of arcade games in public spaces in the south of the country. We had already tried to change things without success during the last elections. This time, we are determined to seize the opportunity to abolish this tax. One week before the elections, we sent a letter to all the political parties that ran in the regional elections in Brussels and Wallonia to ask for their position on the issue and if they were for a removal of the tax on arcade video games, air-hockeys and pinball machines. Agir, Nation and B.U.B. were the first to answer us, Défi, the PS and Ecolo promised to come back to us. All answers will be published in full and in chronological order of their reception on this page: "The position of political parties on the abolition of the tax on arcade games". This is the opportunity to save arcade games, think about it! Your vote will have an impact on your passion. Of course, we will monitor the progress of this issue closely and other actions will be taken to ensure that these promises do not fall into oblivion. You can already read the first answers on this page.

jp Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer

Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep ExplorerBandai Namco releases Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer today. This game is an exploration action RPG that supports up to three players in online co-op. Sword Art Online is a famous light novel adapted to several mangas and animes. The action takes place in virtual games in the Seed network and the main character is a young man named Kirito. In Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer, a mysterious space suddenly appeared in the Seed network, known as "Unknown". Players challenge a new adventure with Kirito and his friends and encounter a new brand new heroine named Rico (voice by Higashiyama Nao). Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer features two terminals (ViSTer): ViSTer station to play the game and ViSTer terminal to purchase profile card and ressources cards (items). On the ViSTer station, players control 3 characters to challenge different quests (defeat monsters and explore dungeons) from the mysterious space Unknown. They use a stick to move the characters and perform actions such as steps and guards with the L1 and L2 buttons. To activate various skills, players can touch the skill panel at the bottom right of the screen. At the start of the game, the skill level is 0 and it rises by defeatig enemies and succeeding missions. The upper left numerical value displayed on the screen is the "activity limit", and when it reaches 0, the quest fails. It decreases over time but also when the character's HP goes to 0 (the character ressurects anyway). At the end of a mission, the characters gain experience and can level up.
