  • It’s common in English to refer to a collective like a company or government as though it were an individual. I think it’s just a simple short hand really.

    Eg “The whitehouse said today…” We know that the whitehouse (a building) doesn’t have the power of speech and that really means “a whitehouse spokesperson working in an official capacity on behalf of the government said today”.

    Really the headline should be something along the lines of “what, exactly, are Xbox business strategists thinking?” But because of the common knowledge of how this shorthand works they can just use the headline they did.

    There’s probably a fancy linguistic name for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Remember, if something looks off it probably is. As you said why would everi be out delivering in the middle of the night? £1.04 + VAT is £1.25 also why would they be displaying an ex-vat price? Also it’s everi their preference would be to put it in a safe place (such the wheelie bin you put out for emptying) than redeliver.
