Post the closure of THQ’s local studios, the Australian Games Industry is reeling, but there are those who staunchly believe it can recover. We spoke to GDAA CEO Tony Reed, and the heads of Firemint and SEGA Studios Australia to discuss the impact of the closures, and the ways in which our local games industry can evolve in the future.
Tony Reed, CEO of the Game Developers Association of Australia certainly thinks so. We spoke to Tony Reed a while back about R & D Tax Reform and how it could kickstart the Australian Games Industry, but speaking to Gamespot he reaffirmed his belief that Australia can grow rapidly in the near future.
