>30 million
That's piddly and probably comes with all sorts of strings attached that make it so only a specific group of people who were preplanned to get it actually receive it and most of it will be administrative costs.

Calling it now.

The UK was the best place to make video games in the 80s and 90s. How does the Prine Minister aim to repeat the success of the past?

Giving money to his friends to make shit games.
Not being beholden to the whims of the people who buy your games? That's the best! Just suckle at the government tit in perpetuity. If the gamers don't like it they can stop paying taxes!

Sweet Baby was eventually exposed as using that long chain of like X baby, baby this, curious baby whatever the fuck - to hide it was all a propaganda OP by the Canadian government and thats where the funding came from. It was Canadas way of bribing companies into making their propaganda for them. So Britain is trying to replace that program now, obviously. 5 eyes shit.

Desperate move in light of the gaping black hole in public finances only to be crawled out of by growing the economy. Iโ€™m sure they looked far and wide trying to identify industries which they can entice and leverage such as game development, but who the fuck would want to develop and/or publish a game here when theyโ€™ve got the gestapo out in force enforcing shit like the Online Safety Act which will invariably harm studios at some point. I have no doubt the draconian bullshit will eventually expand to the gaming space.

i still think migrant hotel manager was a good idea by some anon, just the balance of deliveroo, security costs like do you get 20 guards which is eating into profit or risk it and you get random fires and an increase in raping. Do you go for 24 months fully booked out or maybe put rates up to ยฃ400 a night but you get emergency asylun seekers so it balances out.

Video games are cognitive trap mind control simulators designed to neuter the white mans brain, so this makes perfect sense.

Salaries for game programmers are double in the USA compared โ€ o here in Bongland, and they are about 30% more on the continent.

Now most games programmers are not 70 years old for R-NHS is not so much of a magnet for them. They should go to the USA.
