Made in Canada: Videogames?



Ok, so they're not the stereotypical item you'd find bearing the Made in Canada sticker, but the video game industry has been growing in leaps and bounds here in the great white north and currently there aren't any plans for the industry to slow down. Hubs of micro-scale gaming industries have been setup in several parts of the nation: Vancouver and Montreal have several well established studios that generate high amounts of profit. Canada is currently the sixth largest video game producing country in the world.

Vancouver is the home to Electronic Arts Canada, a branch of the US computer game giant, it's also one of the world's largest studios. Chances are if you've played an EA sports game it was made by them. Montreal is also becoming a hub with companies such as Ubisoft Montreal, producers of games such as Splinter Cell and Assassins Creed. Let's not forget Rockstar North which operates out of Montreal: they've had a major hand in producing the highly controversial but profitable GTA series.

There's also a slew of smaller companies trying to hold their ground all across the country: Edmonton's Bioware has produced games like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Star Wars: Night of the Old Republic.

The global market of interactive games software and hardware is about $30 Billion a year, Canada accounts for at least $1 Billion of that. What seems like a small piece of the pie is actually a...
