As someone who lives near a Best Buy, I’m at Best Buy often," Newsom told reporters during a news conference. “And I’m paying sales tax on a lot of this prewritten software. And then I find out that all my friends that aren’t near a Best Buy, they’re downloading and they are not paying sales tax. How is that fair?”
Are you actually older than Bernie Sanders. Who the actual fuck buys software in a box in a store? I was born in 1980 and I’ve never done this.
Games are software. People buy a FUCK load of games. If I go to best buy and buy a game I pay sales tax. If I buy the same game online I do not pay sales tax.
I’m in California. This is one of the reasons I don’t buy games in stores.
Why would you ever physically get in your car and go to a store which has 20-100 games instead of clicking in a store that has thousands in either case?
OP is confused about what? Nobody says “prewritten software” few people buy software in stores anymore. I’m not even arguing over taxing software I’m arguing over his reasoning and verbiage.
I’m a couple years younger than you, and well as a kid we did buy software from babbages or electronic boutique. I think the last time I bought software for a store was around 2010 at a micro center or something. But that was already a rare occurrence at that point. So as of today it’s probably been 16 years since I’ve done so. I think most of the stores that actually sold software are out of business. So your point is valid.

Also, what human being has ever said “prewritten software” to describe a video game or an office suite you can buy at Best Buy?
What, you don’t write your games yourself?
This sounds like something donald trump would say but vaguely coherent

Interesting, steam charges taxes on my purchases. Though I believe it is due to Canada doing digital sales tax laws a while back.
Video game industry is literally the biggest software and entertainment industry. OP is confused.
