Support NeoGAF

[xealo]

I'm not in the UK or in the games industry, and I wasn't buying games in GBP in the first place. So, not at all.

This morning I'm ashamed to be English

Same

Maybe we would be treated as our own gaming region, so no more delays due to language localisations. Unlikely but im trying to find a positive in this mess

New change implemented: Now that the UK has left the EU, Atlus has decided to push their games 5 years forward ahead of the EU!
Persona 5 coming 2020 for UK

I'll seriously consider not supporting Britain based devs unless they relocate to Scotland or Any other EU country. This situation is something that hurts me too much, and having fascist parties behind it is unbearable. Cant, won't support the economy of a country I dont know anymore and the madmen they allowed to steer it away.

Yes this makes total sense as British based game devs and the UK's 'facist parties' (who would be?...) are totally the same entity.

So much stupidity being posted the past couple of days.

With all the lies from both sides the remain and stay it was hard too choose the tory party created this mess by allowing the vote to get into power and they just bullshiting all the way up until the end something this important should have been fact based but as for gaming i can not see how it will effect us maybe dearer games

They are the part of Britains economy I'm closer with. They're in a country that let Farage rip them out from Europe and under the serious risk of being run by a Johnson-Farage team up. Not supporting it to let these bozos claim "see? Nothing happened". As simple as that.

Please show a bit more respect for others opinions even if you cant relate.

It will be good to buy physical games from UK to mainland Europe. At least while the GBP keeps tanking.

edit: I suspect though that UK based companies will counter this very quickly. With making UE customers pay in euros.

 

[Terbinator]

The UK won't lose access to talented people in any industry, the work permit system will need to be reworked.

Which will be interesting, as currently, UKBA appears to pick and choose if they're going to greenlight someones application depending on how they feel that day.

I respect your opinion, but it's quite ridiculous. Remain voters are to blame for Leave voters?

 

[Dangansona]

Besides the part with the individual employees having to find a new home for their families, how hard is it for a game studio to relocate? Is that a costly endeavor?

@LordRaptor: austerity isn't even the only problem.

Suggesting lower educated people voted for leave because, basically, they're dumb (it's what is implied here) is not only incredibly contemptuous and typical higher class arrogance, it's completely missing the point: depending on your class, you're not exposed to the same reality and you don't have the same interests, that's really all there is to it. The positive effects of EU improve the life of the rich, and its negative effects are tragic to the poor, but the rich doesn't care because for him, those effects don't exist, so it must be because the poor is dumb.

The same general phenomenon happens everywhere in the EU.

This 100% a lot of people wealthy people seem to think like this, just because he or she aren't affected by what others endure, it doesn't exist and that others are just creating an illusion of a struggle.

It would have affected me ~5 years back, when importing physical games from the UK was pretty much the cheapest way to buy games day 1 by a good margin. I did that a lot.

Now, I don't really see much of a gaming-related impact for me personally. Maybe for the period of time where the GBP is low but there are no tariffs importing could make sense again.

This would make more sense if people in the lower income bracket didn't commonly vote against their own interests.

PC gamers are pretty much fucked across the EU and the UK with higher prices for components for the foreseeable future.

The EUR/USD movement seems to have settled already, and it's basically a blip compared to e.g. the 2014 drop.

Movement has stabilised at the moment but will fluctuate again when we start seeing the negotiations between the UK/EU and how the markets react to that. In any case it's unlikely to lead to an improvement.

I wonder what the sales expectations for NMS by Hello Games is now? They only have two streams flowing (by their own choice) and they don't know what the future may hold.

As someone who uses a US PSN account but lives in the UK:

Fuck.

As someone who is deeply saddened by the choice of people who live on the same landmass as me:

Fuck.

The British pound has tanked so the most likely impact of Brexit is a price hike on imported goods which would include most console / PC hardware. Plus there is a high likelihood of a recession (job losses etc.) so sales might slide.

Its not about blaming. Going by this reasoning, you shouldnt have Any embargo toward Any dictatorship. Of course, the vote was split. Of course I know it would hit remain voters as well. But it would hit economy and government first.
