I played a game and to receive payment it says the must pay PayPal platform fees and taxes to receive the money.. is this a scam or should I continue to pay the taxes to receive the money?

SCAM

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive payments into a Paypal account.

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade to a business account/or any other reason to accept a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds especially via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.

it's a scam, I learned this the hard way. If anyone ever tell you that for any reason stay away from them and block them if you can.
