Well, its a good day to live in the UK if you work with gaming development.
The UK government is “investing” 10 m to gaming developers.
And they say in America that socialism is bad. If we had socialized healthcare then maybe our government wouldn’t need to use their money to bribe persons with “different healthcare interest” and spend our Tax dollars into video game development instead!
This project is aiming to create 30 new gaming companies and support 80 others while creating 400 game related jobs around the country. Also boosting the skills of 300 workers within the industry!
“This is a great day for the games industry and really good news for Dundee,” said Jim Murphy, Secretary of State for Scotland, on a visit to Abertay. “Dundee has always been a city of innovation and has a well-earned reputation as the heartland of Scotland’s gaming industry.
“This investment now confirms Dundee as one of the key centres in the UK as well, and will allow Abertay University to grow Scotland’s international reputation for its talents in video games creation.”
“This is fantastic news for the UK videogames industry and I would like to commend the government for this initiative. This investment will help support a cross section of the videogames industry in the UK,” added Mike Rawlinson, director general of ELSPA.
“The UK videogames industry is one of the country’s most dynamic and creative industries and a leading player in the videogames industry globally. I am sure that this investment will stimulate further innovation and skills training in the UK and help the industry maintain its current momentum.”
So in conclusion. The UK goverment invests 10 M into the Gaming industry. While we invest billions in bailout money to maintain the bonuses for the co-operate executives.
Life sucks somewhat fierce right now.
