Video game puzzle designers tread a fine line: If the puzzles are too easy, they're boring, but if they're too hard, nobody will finish the game and you may wind up responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent controllers. The key is to make the difficulty of a puzzle come from a logical place so that solving it will make sense to the players, giving them a sense of well-earned accomplishment. But sometimes, the closest thing to a "logical place" that a game designer has is the cubbyhole underneath the toilet that his insane mother kept him in for most of his life. And that's how we get puzzles like these:

A UK court has ruled that the unauthorized stealing of in-game currency can be legally classified as criminal theft.
IGN is a fraudulent clik bait farm pretending to be a news organization.
"that the unauthorized stealing of"
...You know as opposed to the "authorized steal of" personal data sites like IGN take part in.
But yes it is both IGNorant and morally questionable to imply that there is such a thing as authorized stealing.
IGN isn't a "news organization". it's a magazine/content producer that generates revenue on ads and services. We aren't talking about the AP Wire, Reuters, etc. I suggest you adjust your expectations of what you think you are going to get from an industry content creator. this is entertainment, not geopolitics. furthermore, the story you are commenting on is in fact true and thats not IGNs fault. work out those issues. ;)
IGN is a gaming news site just because it covers entertainment doesn't make them a content creator.
Digital currency should be considered as legitimate as actual money. You buy it with real money, and has an equal exchange. So I fully agree with this and anything else that favours the consumer when it comes to digital currency in games.
Runescape gold cant be bought directly with real money, it is only used to buy items in game, not microtransactions, but there is sort of a time value to it
no it has no actual exchange value, because you can only put money into it. The only actual exchange value it gets is through 3rd party gold seller who attach an amount of dollars to it and they're the only ones who get the luxury of actually being able to "exchange". Unless Jaggex is just selling raw gold, then I'm wrong.
Jagex did add a safe form of gold buying a while ago as you can know buy "bonds" with real money that can be exchanged for 14 days of membership or about 15m gold (current price) in the GE.

Get ready for some nostalgia.
Yes,
and I absolutely loved the logo of Sierra for some reason.
Maybe, mainly because of F.E.A.R. 😈
EXACTLY what i was thinking!! My thoughts immediately went to FEAR as soon as i read Sierra.
In video games there are two logos that appear before the title screen. One is the publisher and one is the developer.
In your question, Monolith is the developer so the logo they are speaking about is the one for Sierra, the publisher.
Hope this helps.
yes, everyone or at least most people should try to play some of them
I never played any 80s games, but played most of the 90's and early 2000's Sierra games
