I wonder how much of this will go to actually Scottish game devs instead of billion dollar AAA companies living rent free in Scotland.
These programs work by encouraging these industries to set up and build in the region. It is likely a win in the long run, it’s not a conspiracy to give away money.
I think both of you are correct
Billion dollar company is motivated to install a branch in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, is surprised to discover a very well educated workforce, who performs well because they have protective labour laws. The local population gets great salaries (on par with city salaries), because otherwise the talent fuck off to the big cities. The salaries help the local businesses flourish. It’s a win win situation, really.
It’s what happened in Ireland, no reason Scotland couldn’t do the same.
Nice, hopefully we get some awesome Scottish games coming out
Yeah hopefully someone else can fill the hole Rockstar left now that they only make a game every ten years.
This just after Steam approves the Dwarf tag. Hmm
I’m getting kick out of the word ‘furtherment’. It’s like cement only further.
How about they keep their worthless government mits out of gaming?
