    The risk with this approach is that tax breaks go to projects like Chris Roberts’ Star Citizen.

    UK public is in a sense subsidizing Star Citizen.

    And the formal justification for their current tax breaks (not related to the announced initiative in the article) is that SQ42 and Star Citizen somehow represent (promote?) British culture. I am not even joking.

      Consdiering the PPE, the Ferries, HS2… Spending immense amounts of money on projects that never get finished seems to perfectly align with british culture.
