Louisiana and the video game development industry
Executive Summary
Purpose. The Chamber of Greater Baton Rouge and Louisiana Technology Park partnered to fund a study to examine the business case for the video game development industry in Louisiana. This report represents the findings of that research and is especially timely, as the Louisiana legislature is currently considering a bill that would provide video game developers with tax credits for in-state production.
Methodology. Andy Redman of Cambridge University has conducted this study, doing research from England and also spending several weeks in the U.S. interviewing industry professionals. Interviews have included the co-founder of EA, former VP of Sony Online Entertainment, seven CEOs of development companies, the head of the Austin Games Initiative, the director of the
major industry organization (IGDA), members of games media, and many more developers and leaders in the industry.
