    Without having read the article yet or knowing anything about this game: You gotta take some losses with investment. I once heard that 1 out of 20 projects in the IT sector pay off on investments, which also matches my experience working as a software engineer.

    In particular, the EU is also somewhat behind in this industry. Investing into dev studios, so they can gain experience, that’s what this tax money is for.
    Might not be my personal highest priority, as I find AAA games boring anyways, but from a finance perspective and a social perspective, i.e. enabling people to pursue this career path, I can get behind investments like this.
