@Edix: While I'm sure our differences of opinions here can't be entirely reconciled, I do maybe agree with some of what you've said, but not how it applies to this specific situation.

@karmakazenz1: The government says "We'll charge you this much to operate here" so you operate, however when time comes to pay, they tell you "Oh actually you owe us this much more, failure to pay will result in criminal charges".

@Mr.CardHolder and Mr.Doe: The investors are the people who gave leave for the corporation's existence. You get no say in something you've never contributed to. However, replace "Corporations" in your first statement with "Governments" and maybe you're on to something.

@LordChris915: The bloody tax cuts aren't just for Activision! They are for video game makers in the UK in general! At the bottom of the article, a corporation that ISN'T Activision says the tax cuts could result in more than 3500 new jobs! Who's keeping who out of work?

@Edix: It's funny how you say "Everyone has to pay their fair share" but really you mean, the well off have to pay to the poor. Greater need does NOT equal greater right. As scummy as he is, it's not Bobby Kotick's fault that he's infinitely more successful than you or I are. It sucks to lose your job for sure,

@scrapking: Not to mention that the loss of mass sales of Activision products would hurt their own economy, nor that it would set a horrible precedent which would likely result in even more people choosing not to develop in the UK. Or that it would increase crime, because anything prohibitted gets smuggled in

@Jezuz: You know, it's not just tax breaks for Activision, right? It's for all video game makers.

@expansionsss - the jaded gamer: I played my share of WoW, and a number of other MMO's, but none elicit as fond memories as Lord of the Rings Online. It's a loving recreation of a (currently expanding) chunk of Middle Earth. It's greatest strength, in my opinion, is the many ways to spend your time doing things
