Pittsburgh is a big tech city, known for everything from robotics to self-driving cars. Now, thanks in part to a state tax credit program, it could also become the next hot spot for video game development. City Cast Pittsburgh producer (and devoted gamer) Sophia Lo is with Spotlight PA’s Colin Deppen to talk about what’s drawing developers to Pittsburgh and how these new studios are bringing retro games back in style. Plus, Sophia shares which game has some local Easter eggs for diehard Pittsburghers. Check out Colin’s reporting on Pittsburgh’s role in the resurgence of retro games.
