Game industry group TIGA is using comments from a THQ executive to further press for tax relief for the videogame industry in the UK.

[URL=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2010-10-19-thq-wed-build-a-uk-super-studio-with-govt-support]Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz[/URL], THQ Executive VP Danny Bilson called the talent in the UK “extraordinary,” and while he would love to see his company build a new studio in the region, it won’t happen anytime soon because “it's all about money at the end of the day.”

THQ opted instead to build a new 400-employee studio in Montreal, where it will receive tax breaks of 37.5 cents for every dollar spent on labor costs, which Bilson called a "huge win" and would enable the developer to "put more on the screen."
