UK Video Game Tax Relief Cancelled

Stoobalou writes "UK game developers have just been dealt a financial blow by Chancellor George Osborne in his first budget, which sees the coalition government scrapping the video game tax relief plans promised by Labour. In his speech today, Osborne simply said the 'planned tax relief for the video games industry will be cancelled.' According to the government's budget report, the cancellation of video game tax relief will save the government £40 million in the 2011-2012 financial year, and a further £50 million in each subsequent year."

    Now, it could just be me as a foreigner wildly speculating out of left field, but doesn't it seem like Australians in general, as well as most users of unix/linux and apple products seem to inherently love eating fat dicks and licking smelly/juicy anuses? As well, drinking viral ejaculate out of used condoms is pretty common there. I mean, for these guys it's practically a fucking national past-time!
    Also- what the fuck is going on with the comment system?
