Sony to shift European operations from Britain to the Netherlands (the legal entity for tax, not the physical offices/people)
- Thread starter Eolz
- Start date
It will probably apply to everything, but local marketing teams will always be needed.
Brexit strikes again.
On the other hand, nice to see a European branch being run out my home country for once.

Do we know how much of their team will be relocated to Holand and how much will be laid off to hire locals? I hope they relocate a lot of people, nobody should lose their job because of incompetent politicians and people who vote with their asses, plus the Netherlands seems like a much nicer place to live due to bikes, weather, culture and food (in my opinion).
What a shitshow with that Brexit stuff, did no one at the government foresaw all the consequences from doing such a dumb thing?
The government didn't think there was any chance people would vote to leave, they called the referendum because they'd promised it during their election campaign
They all stupidly thought that remain would win and May is stupidly pressing on with the deal with her "The People have spoken" bullshit.
To give some further perspective, a no-deal Brexit will never happen.
Blind nationalism and a lack of long term thinking. Same mentalities that got us Trump.
Being in the single market and having a customs arrangement with the EU while worse than our current deal, is still significantly better than May's deal and orders of magnitude better than no deal. It's all relative.
Lol they don't even want that, that'd be way easier if that was the case.
The majority of MPs were campaigning for remain with the referendum, so I think they did... No one also thought Leave would actually win, lol.
Unfortunately Cameron seemingly forgot the Tories and our right wing press had been using the EU and immigration as scapegoats for their failures. So combine that with the facts that the Remain campaign was kind of just bad and the Leave campaign was effectively cheating between extra secretive funding as well as spouting a whole lot of lies, and you get the frustrating situation the country is in now. The majority of MPs back Leave now because they don't want to be seen as going against the "will of the people".
Mind you it's even worse than that still because we've got a PM who cannot be ousted who wants a deal pushed through that very few others actually want (it already got voted down in a record defeat but shes going at it again). She knows that she can use fear to her advantage by running down the click and dangling no brexit under the brexiteers and no deal brexit under the remainers.
In short: Anti immigration rhetoric. The solution "Take Our Country Back!" Mixed with an onslaught of targeted fake news articles and voilà.

Significant brexit impact is expected after government leaves with an eventual no deal exit, is what I'm assuming.
This is incredible. What city? Also what exactly netherlands ? I really want to apply since netherland is only one hour away
A mixture of people wanting less Polish people "stealing all the jobs", and an extremely dishonest leave campaign that people fell for
Turns out this article is incorrect, as Sony has now provided clarification.
Only the legal entity is merging for tax purposes, not the offices/people.
Eolz The OP should be updated.

It seems to be the dream of Ms. May, however they burned their bridges already I think. Only way to cancel article 50 now is to stay in the EU fully..
Probably not, the products will still adhere to both sets of market regulations, shouldn't make a difference, won't need to be checked on the way in or anything.
UK retail will work in the same way, so prices and the subsequent steep drops, will be the same.
David Cameron only offered it to silence Brexit supporting backbenchers as he thought he would be in another minority government. He assumes that the Lib Dems could vote referendum talks down, but then they won a majority.
Updated it, but that doesn't make the title or the gist of the article incorrect.
I dunno about that I think EU would be open to negotiations without the red lines set by Maybot. They'd rather a softer Brexit I'd imagine.
But yeah, ain't happening while May's stubborn ass is in power.
Even with a no deal, there'd be little noticeable difference on things like this coming in. It's domestic producers that will be affected if anything.
Brexit is going to hit the UK gaming industry hard in the same way it'll hit most industries. Even if the offices haven't moved yet I can definitely see them moving in the future once 'Brexit' has actually started.
This sounds a lot like "Leave will never win." or "Trump won't make it past the primaries," tbh. I've seen no real indication that no-deal is an impossibility outside of a few hopeful "we'll get an A50 extension!" predictions. May refuses to rule it out and she's very much the only driver at the wheel here.

I probably wouldnt expect to get any new games after March 29th for a little while.
The bunch of idiots in Westminster and the ignorance of 17m voters doesn't somehow make the entire country a "shithole". Of course there are shitholes in the UK, and you may well live in one, but I'm pretty sure that hasn't changed in the last two years.
A no-deal Brexit would immediately break the Good Friday agreement. Neither the UK nor EU would actually let that happen and you can be sure of a last minute emergency A50 extension if not earlier. You need to stop taking Rees-Mogg and those lorry queue parks so seriously.
