PSLS Presents – Ed Vaizey, UK Shadow Minister for Culture

PlayStation LifeStyle writes:
The British Games Industry has seen better times, with the nation dropping from the third largest producer of games to the fifth. Developers are leaving the country for greener pastures, and the British education system is failing to provide the skilled workers necessary to create games. Last month PlayStation LifeStyle wrote an in-depth article analysing the peril that the country faced, now PSLS has interviewed Ed Vaizey, the Shadow Minister for Culture, as well as the Member of Parliament representing Wantage and Didcot, over his plans for the ailing industry.

This is a text book example of too much meddling by the government in economics. On one side you have the biz aspect, then on the other side, the audience paying VAT.

Business moves faster then government, so they need to do something pronto.
