> i never said entertainment does not contribute to a surrounding industry, i was only pointing out that both sides have it. You are simply pointing out to an instance where the other one does not have an equivalent. exactly, even if you don't like it. I'm pointing at the opportunities that are being created regardless of any single entity's presence in the region, that you are not including into your original comparison. Other big profitable industries find the UK appealing for large long-term investments. You argue that there's "value lost in this limited context", I argue that the context is wrong and there's a bigger picture where Intel's current hesitation to establish a plant in the UK due to Brexit ramifications is irrelevant. It's irrelevant because Intel is a single player that will not necessarily hold its leadership in the next 10 years, whereas big industries such as Entertainment and Construction have already chosen and commited to their choice by making transactions and building the stuff in the UK, that is many independent companies that form those industries have made this decision and Brexit was not a decisive factor to them. And if it wasn't a decisive factor, then there should be other more important factors that make the UK more appealing to each and every one of them. > > This is not the argument I wanted to make, but here: the chip industry enables the video game industry, which on it's own is larger than the movie industry. If you want to compare surrounding industries, there, I'm Done. Intel is not the entire chip industry, thankfully.
