Government risks missing out on $159b video games opportunity
The value of the global video games industry will reach close to $US160 billion in 2020, buoyed 9.3 per cent by the impact of COVID-19.

Governments in markets as diverse as Canada (which gives as much as $1.5 million for a project), Poland ( via a $20 million R&D fund ), and New Zealand's $10 million Centre for Digital Excellence (CODE), are providing a combination of direct investment and other, indirect incentives, to encourage game development across the nation.

The fighting genre is nearly as old as the medium of video games itself, and in a genre that is as ubiquitous and constant as this one, it’s hard to innovate. When Super Smash Bros. came out for the N64 in 1999, however, that was exactly what it did. How exactly? Well, on paper, the idea was a simple one- rather than knocking your opponent’s health down to zero, you just… knock them off the stage.
