TLDR: We are very quick to hand companies tax breaks. I would rather move the same money from corp structures like VGEC into personal tax credits for UK residents earning in strategic creative sectors. More transparent, survives job moves, makes UK freelancers more affordable and catches the indies VGEC misses. People first, because this industry is built entirely on talent. Right off the bat I
