Cheeky bastards.  Why should I as a UK taxpayer subsidise Sony?  anyone?

Cheeky, yeah, but it's a legitimate bargaining tool on their part.

What costs the UK more money: these studios paying lower taxes, or these studios leaving and paying no taxes on top of producing no income for the UK populace?

Lower taxes, but boosting their government income in the long term with more UK investement
