No-deal Brexit would 'devastate' UK gaming industry, says report

Authors claim hard Brexit or no deal threatens videogaming's status as British success story

A hard or no-deal Brexit threatens to cause serious harm to Britain's gaming industry, which contributes almost 2bn a year to the economy, a report says.
