All about the Boston Games Industry
Boston.com has posted an article in which they talk all about the local video game developers over there and how the small local game industry could enlarge
I propose all major developers and publishers set up an office over here in Belgium which is the center of Europe with NATO, the European Union HQ and loads more. We've got all you'd ever want and we'll even give you money for it !
The only thing we would demand is that you would hire local people like me and give us high pay and lots of benefits ;)
There are three positive dynamics that could help the Boston video game community grow.
One is that venture capitalists seem less reluctant than they have in the past to put their money into game developers. WorldWinner.com in Newton, which creates Web-based games and doles out cash prizes, attracted funding from Zero Stage Capital, HarbourVest, and CommonAngels. Earlier this year, TA Associates of Boston invested $32 million in a Virginia company that created a multiplayer online game called "Dark Age of Camelot," in which players assume Arthurian identities. And within the next month, Westwood-based Turbine Entertainment Software will announce an infusion of capital from a local venture firm.
Venture capitalists have warmed up to multiplayer online games in part because they're addictive. Players create their own characters, trade, fight, and fall in love with one another -- and they shell out a monthly subscription fee, rather than making a one-time purchase of boxed software.
I would say that every country/state would like to see its game industry enlarged as it's one of the few sectors which are booming at the moment and about everything is good to boost economy in these dark ages of job layoffs.One is that venture capitalists seem less reluctant than they have in the past to put their money into game developers.
