Nowegian gaming companies save ‘a lot’ by moving operations to Quebec
According to Dagensit.no, Montreal is the center of Quebec’s large-scale investment in programs to encourage new industries to establish themselves in the city. And Norwegian’s Funcom has moved much of its development department in Montreal, similarly to big game companies like Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and Square Enix. "The province really paves the way for us. Among other things, we have reduced labour costs for skilled labour by up to 37.5%," said CEO Trond Arne Aas. In addition, Quebec’s Multimedia Tax Credit program allows Funcom to pay four developers for the price of three.
