I was expecting some dumb biased article about games making players dumber.
Pleasantly surprised...sort of.
Hopefully the games industry in Britain will improve soon.

nope, everybody come to Canada and get tax cuts for making video games.
It'd help if all the tax cuts that were being discussed and shit were just thrown out when the coalition came in.

Facepunch would benefit from tax cuts, specifically garry, FREE TITLES FOR ALLE

Jesus Christ that's a lot of money
Highly doubt the current government is going to do anything about this though
If this bad news means that the UK will push itself harder in the games industry then this is good news

A lot of it is licensing fees, don't forget.
Canada won't be out done, don't even try.
Doesn't really matter to me, in my opinion, no real good games have come out of the UK (Being a Teafag my self)

I heard Viva Piñata was pretty good.

I wasn't aware Rockstar UK made any GTA's?
Not at all surprised by this, its been so bloody obvious since the withdrawal of the proposed tax exemption mid last year or so that people have been jumping ship ever since, felt like the govt. had no confidence in the strength of the industry.
Definitely turned away me from working in games here at least

I was half-expecting this to be an article about GMod causing brain damage.

I still stand by that game having the best visuals of any console game. Shit was so beautiful.
Ireland's game industry is based on farmville and mafia wars.
I wish i was joking.

If there was promise in a fledgling British games industry then I'd be tempted to hop aboard, but I'm not 100% certain.
