Games industry

I will be limited to English speaking countries for my work places, as it is usually expected that in nations with a native language that will be the primary language in the working environment e.g French, or German.

The main developers in the UK are Lionhead, Rockstar North, Crytek, Criterion and Traveller’s Tales. With big titles such as Little big planet, GTA, and Fable.

But not all companies based in the country have been as successful. In the last 2 years 145 companies have entered the game industry, but there has been 131 closures with larger studios including Eurocom, Blitz and Bizarre creations among the casualties. But these have resulted in the number of small start- up companies.

The USA would be another country that would be an ideal workplace, allowing for getting a working visa or green card in the event of long term employment.

The main developers include Microsoft Studios, EA, Activision, and Bethesda. But there are over 650 games companies and studios based in the USA. Studios are wide spread throughout the country.
