    Not just for me this time but for everyone involved in making games in the UK.

    The new Labour Budget neglected many recent demands from UK industry representatives, Tiga
    to allow tax cuts for games developers to bring the UK inline with other competitors - mainly
    Canada - where significant tax breaks meant that larger studios were setting up shop there
    and moving out of the UK.

    The industry is making an appeal to developers, publishers and now even consumers. If you care
    at all about the future of the UK games industry then please sign this petition.

    HAA HAA..HEEEE..EEEEE..wheeeeezee.../me falls over due to lack of oxygen.

    like this is EVER going to happen. OUR governemt acually doing something for the creative business's in this country.

    Why i bet they would rather spend billions on ways to track its citizens through usless id cards, invest billions more in the fingerprint databases, and even more in 17 thousand poounds worth of taxi fares for each MP.

    ill sigh it anyhow and hope for the best.

    Ditto.
    I don't think this is going anywhere, but I'll do my bit because, although not all battles can be won, some need to be fought.
