North Carolina Signs Game Dev Tax Break Into Law

[AgDr_ODST]

Bev actually did something right?! Seriously? No joke?

*mind explodes*

Holy shit she did. Thats a shocker, a very nice and welcome shocker but still a shock none the less. Oh and this is awesome cause I also am from NC so that makes it more awesome

She cuts Federal Aid for students but gives video games a tax break? Not voting for her in 2012.

Wait, how can a state governor cut federal aid? Unless she's an ex-Senator or something I think you've got your facts mixed up.

Low income students can apply for federal aid, part of that aid even though its called federal, comes from the state. In North Carolina its called the Education Access Rewards NC. Its roughly $3000 for low income students, its been cut by the state under her leadership. Thank god it doesn't affect me since I wasn't on fed aid but thousands of students might not be able to comeback this year. Seriously not voting for her ever again.

North Carolina is the North of the South!

No, if it was really the 'North of the South' they'd be trying to tax the hell out of this incredibly successful industry so they could afford more state programs and bureaucrats. Zing!

anybody else think it should be house bill 1337?

 

[Motiv_]

Fuck yeah! It's nice to see NC finally getting some well deserved gaming publicity, and as for the tax break, well, about time.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Sweet!! This is great news for us NC natives. Wait.... did I just approve of something the government did?

 

[Kiefer13]

Awesome. I wish the government here would do the same. *sigh*

Now all she(the governor) needs to do is what she promised and get Interstate 485 finished, and I'll overlook all the other bad decisions she has made.

Good for Business...hopefully good for games & decent software.
