Joy Keene: NZ Game Developers Association executive director on New Zealand's 'booming' video game industry

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

It's been a breakthrough year for New Zealand’s video game industry. The sector hit its $1 billion annual revenue target two years early, and it's on track to double that figure by the end of the decade. NZ Game Developers Association executive director Joy Keene says there are quite a few factors behind this. "We're a very creative country, obviously, we have some number 8 wire kind of thinking. And couple that with the Government support that we've been receiving over the last few years, that has super-charged what our game developers have been able to do."
