21st February 2004, 8:22pm
Irrational Games Australia is going under a major expansion of its Canberra game studios to deliver a series of international game development projects. Full release can be read here
    "A major international video game title costs 5 or 6 million US dollars to develop and employs 30 - 40 people over a couple of years" said Jon Chey, Managing Director of Irrational Games Australia. "The majority of our expenditure flows directly into the ACT economy in the form of salaries and infrastructure. And as we are taking on a greater number of larger game development projects, we need to employ more people"
It is good to see Australian studios expanding especially when the benefits flow thropugh the local economy. Will be good to see some major titles from them in the future.
