New York won’t tax downloadable content

I’ve you’ve stayed with us, you know that back in December we heard that New York had a bill in the works that would potentially tax things like downloadable map packs offered over Xbox Live.

Well, word has recently gotten to us that New York has scrapped the idea stating the reason as the passing of the stimulus bill. The original plan arised to help decrease the state’s $1.3 billion dollar debt but with the stimulus bill and more money coming their way, they deemed it unnecessary.

This is good news as Destructoid reports that this bill could have increased the price of DLC by up to 8%.
