"Activision have indicated for some time that they wanted to invest in the huge talent pool for video games development which is located all over the UK," said Payne.
"The landscape is fast and wild, but the rewards are big. This decision proves that we have the right blend of experience, creative and technical talent which added to competitive fiscal taxation conditions means we can forge winning businesses and create jobs and reward talent. It is truly a great day for UK resident games developers and marketers."
