How will the UK's Brexit Referendum affect video game developers?

Or maybe you should take a look at how your country is stuck in the 20th century and needs some drastic changes. Before blaming others always look at yourself first. If a student has to take on 40 grand in debt just to get a bachelor's degree you can't be surprised when people's training and education is so bad they get outclassed by polish immigrants.
Nobody said anything about selfhatred. Like i said, i'm german, plenty of immigrants in this country and still we are all doing just fine, so it can hardly be polish blokes ruining your average family man's life.

Can't argue on the education system in this country it's so screwed up, only 35-40% of places go to male students and that number is falling and as the majority of women don't want to be plumbers or electricians we are going to have a shortfall at some point.

I wouldn't say that everything is fine in Germany considering the amount of sexual assaults that get reported

I assume you are referring to the incidents with asylum seekers? Those aren't members of the EU though and the reports are quite a bit exaggerated. One million+ refugees, there are bound to be some bad apples among them. My town has a refugee camp and so far i can't say that the crime rate has increased.
I'm not necessarily a fan of how the refugee crisis was handled either, but i guess that's a topic for a different thread.

I think the refugee problem is part of why people over here want out b4 we end up with loads of them, considering our benefit system

There are changes coming in that regard, preventing people from receiving benefits until they work for 4 years in the country.

Not 100% sure when that starts, but that will be a thing and should prevent any bad apples coming over.

thought that was something they tried to bring in but were stopped by the EU as it didn't apply to British people and thus not fair

 

[shambles1980]

yep european courts of human rights stopped that as far as im aware

Well we are now officially leaving the EU, Pound value dropped sharply, Not a good sign.

Already dropped? By how much?
Wonder if that'll hurt GPU prices.. since values of the currency are changing so suddenly

Wow what a monumental f*** up.

1.30 euros = 1 pound to 1.23 euros = 1 pound.
Usually i'd be glad for import prices, but what the hell am i going to import from the UK.

Indeed, I use to buy my little brother a new GPU and bits and bobs a few times a year and take it over to Berlin for him as it was a bit cheaper, Now there won't really be any point.

It will depend on the pounds value on Wednesday

Quote from Gibbo on RX 480 pricing

"We have the stock but we pay for it in 30 days, we provisionally booked it st 1.44 but we shall now have to adjust down to 1.25-1.30 area due to EU leave.

We are waiting until 15:00 before we decide new rates as it will either drop more, stabilise or recover a little. It is really crap!!!! "

Good for me. I just paid off my student loan in one lump sum. I love the conversion of Kroner to GBP right now.

But without sounding (too) offensive. Are the Welsh f**king stupid or what?

I can understand people voting out in other parts of the uk based on merit like immigration, etc.

But Wales is HEAVILY funded by the EU they get out far more than they put in. Swansea is being fully redeveloped and most sites have that pretty blue flag with stars on it stating "EU funding". Why in all that is unholy did the Swans vote out? That is the most illogical pile of nonsense and biggest sign of stupidity I have seen in this entire Campaign.


They followed the Sheep for the wrong reason this time.

Because people who voted to leave did it without being remotely educated on the topic.

Much like the 823 voting out while living in Gibraltar

That and remain alienating a lot of people by acting like a bunch of spoiled, middle class elitist ar*eholes didn't help.

I do actually Blame the campaign leaders of remain. If they were honest instead of announcing false stats then there would have been a better element of trust.

My brother is screwed and will lose his job. All I hope is that the nation doesn't stay divided and the UK doesn't implode from its own disastrous mistake. UK leaving will have a knock on effect for currency everywhere. I'm tempted to drop my British Citizen ship and regain my french

The remain camp was clearly fueled by panic. They were no better but voting to remain would have had no change so people should have been able to see that.

Germany will accept British refugees right?

Stupid is as stupid does.

I voted to stay in as things will get unpleasant for the ordinary people and not just a rise in PC game and gear prices but things like travelling, Various other expenses and also a lot of jobs will be lost as foreign companies do business over here which will now cost them more so that means the cost will be passed onto us the customer, Costing us more money.

I don't know I think they've had enough of refugees as they are a little troublesome to say the least
