UK Govt Online Petition for Games Industry Tax Breaks - sign here

[Monkeythumbs]

I just saw this article in Develop (http://www.developmag.com/news/29470/Now-UK-gamers-are-asked-to-petition-Brown-for-tax-break) about a Downing Street online petition related to games industry tax breaks, essentially asking the Prime Minister to provide tax breaks or other incentives to support the UK computer and video games industry. I urge you to find out more info and sign the petition (if you so wish) here (http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ukgames/).

If you understand the issues involved and would like to be proactive, I urge you to Digg the associated articles that have appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/15/uk-game-developers-petition-for-financial-incentives/) and Destructoid (http://www.destructoid.com/petition-the-uk-government-to-give-games-a-break-tax-break-that-is--75514.phtml).

I messaged Dennis about it, lets hope we get more exposure from it, I referenced you in the post as well, so if it goes up we both get our 15 seconds of fame
