Yeaahhhh, I'm the Tax Man...

Tax credits to spur new IP drive in France // GamesIndustry.biz:
"By giving the green light to France's proposal, the EU commission has recognised for the first time that games are a form of cultural expression, very much like movies. This is an historical moment."

"I do believe it will generate sufficient cash-flow for studios to conceive and prototype new IPs at an important moment in the new cycle, namely the end of 2008 beginning of 2009," he stated.
It looks like this may become an EU-wide development, as well. Good grief, what's next? Recognizing games as art?
