In danger of being “iPhone devs” only.
The UK games industry is in danger of becoming an iPhone dev-only scene, according to a top Codemasters developer.
Andy Wilson, who’s directing forthcoming FPS Bodycount at the UK publisher’s Guildford studio, told Gamerzines that the lack of tax breaks for developers is sending projects overseas, causing developers here to shut up shop.
“The UK is primarily tough, in my opinion, because the bright, shining hope of tax breaks for the games industry got torpedoed,” he explained.
