I , unlike You...Am NOT looking forward to 'Visit'.  !   Flagbearers  for the future?   

 

Future Game Developers ?.....!

Don't go then.

 

And yes, Future Game Developers.  Maybe you should have a look at how much revenue Rockstar games makes and how many staff they employ.  Incidentally, they're hiring right now in Leeds.

so am i right to believe SCC with no money put in cash to put this project on? or have i misread whats been said,if they havent fine,if they have thats not fine.

No you are wrong as the Castle House Project where the museum is housed is funded by a grant from the DCMS, The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and SCC are in charge of the money and administer it.

It does beg some questions though.. Is a full rent charged? Is it discounted? Is it free?

An industry worth £2.5 billion a year, well over 20,000 jobs in the UK. That is prior to the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 which has already sold 17 million copies, just for consoles, at £50 each (nearing £1 billion in sales).

 

That means Red Dead Redemption 2 has added more to the UK coffers than the entire record label industry on its own. You keep watching Corrie, whilst the young'uns get on with things they find interesting, is that alright sir?

I don't watch tv.!  TV these days is a control medium, aimed at keeping people 'Busy', with box sets and the like. So they don't have the time to get out there and riot over poor wages and increasing living costs and taxes.  If that wasn't bad enough there are people who ACTUALLY PAY for the stuff they watch on tv..!!

Without sounding negative this venture has failure written all over it. For a start it’s located in Sheffield and in a less than desirable part of town too. At a cost of £11 it will have to be very good to tempt the Punters. This place won’t be open for long. If it failed in a vibrant City like Nottingham it really won’t take off in Sheffield.

It's hard to disagree.  It almost folded in 2016, and it's move to Angel Street hints at desperation.  A terrible part of town that noone goes to if they can avoid it.  It's a shame.  In the right part of town it might have stood a chance, but not down there.

It almost folded in 2016 after running out of money.  Ok it got extra investment, but it doesn't seem like an outfit capable of paying its own way.
