THQ would build a Super Studio with govt support - in the UK

Submitted by funkyj on

THQ says it would build a Super Studio in the UK if there were Govt Subsidies.

It's just built one in Canada.

"So there's no issue with talent; it's just economics - and if the government finds subsidies there, absolutely we would build out"

and

The local government in Montreal is currently offering THQ 37.5 cents in every dollar of labour "which is a huge win in the world of blockbuster games," said Bilson, considering the costs of developing a core title - which Bilson puts at more than $35 million.

This is the kind of thing we need Australia to invest in and get happening here.
