Canadian government is buying the video game industry
December 4th, 2009
If you haven’t noticed, Canada is making a bid to be the video game giant of the world. Yesterday, video game publisher THQ announced it would build a studio in Montreal with 400 employees, thanks to subsidies from the Quebec provincial government. THQ plans to add those jobs over the next five years. That’s interesting because THQ cut a lot of jobs in a variety of locations late last year and early this year. Another big publisher has made the move to open a dev base in subsidy-supported Quebec, Canada – with THQ the latest to establish a Montreal studio. The Canadian studio will become the biggest among THQ’s studios, which employ about 1,200 people.
