Could UK tax breaks pave the way for GTA London?

BanjoTed writes: An interesting, if tongue in cheek, bit of speculation from MCV here. "Chancellor Alistair Darling’s pledge to support the video games development industry with tax breaks could do more than simply protect the future of the UK dev sector," the site claims. "It could also have dictated the setting of the next Grand Theft Auto." It's reasoning? That developers will only be eligible for new UK tax breaks if their games can be proven to be 'culturally British'. Being based in the UK alone is not sufficient for this — instead, the games in question must promote Britishness. Hence MCV's conclusion that Grand Theft Auto V may well be set in London — saving Rockstar an estimated $16m in the process.
