Discussion How indie devs saved Australia's game industry

kept forgetting to watch this until now.

seeing Uppercut Games pop up certainly piqued my attention. i remember them being one of the devs that had a Stadia exclusive, which was thankfully rescued and moved to other platforms after the service shutdown.
 
It's a good video, but I caution against championing the labour incentive too aggressively. This article details how such incentives (which are taxpayer subsidies mostly only enjoyed by large - and mostly overseas - corporations instead of local indies and startups) effectively captured the Quebec provincial government to the interests of Ubisoft and other publishers, with there already being issued threats of capital flight if the incentive were modified or lowered as it begins to make less and less financial sense over time.
