Codemasters believes that UK developers need to stick together.

I think if, as a group, we had the confidence to share resources between ourselves instead of grabbing onto things like they are some valuable golden eggs, that would be ideal," said Codemasters' Ian Johnson.

"That's nationally relevant too, but obviously getting there will mean many hurdles. There's obviously enticing tax incentives in places like Canada so the way that we can compete with those is to be efficient," he continued.

Stuart Whyte of Lionhead Studios agreed.

"Hopefully we can all start to do that more and share," he said. "We're all going to be growing and shrinking at different points as we make games, so the ability to foster an ecosystem where we can support people to move around between Guildford studios [of Codemasters], and actually see them learn from different companies and spread that knowledge about making games between us; that could really help us all."
