Molyneux demands government support for UK tax breaks in
industry  Wednesday, 17th February 2010 06:28 GMT By Johnny
Cullen   Peter Molyneux is the latest person to throw his weight
behind getting tax breaks for the UK games industry from the
government.  Speaking to The Telegraph at X10 last week,
Molyneux said the industry is not seen as a “creative industry”.
“I’ve been saying this for years; it is just crazy that the
British government does not recognise the games industry as a
creative industry in the way it recognises others,” he said.
“There are very simple things that Canada does that they’ve
proven are financially sensible, that Britain could do to
encourage people to use them as a creative centre. Because the
British are very creative people and it’s frustrating that we
don’t get that,” he further added.  The Chancellor Alistair
Darling said in his pre-budget report last December tax breaks
wouldn’t be coming for the industry, with a five percent YoY
drop if it doesn’t happen soon, according to TI
