U.K. video game manufacturer could open Pittsburgh office
Pittsburgh Business Times: "Pittsburgh could have an early edge. Jobling said he hopes to tap talent coming out of Pittsburgh's renowned training grounds for video game design, the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh's video game arts program."

i feel like all of the sudden pittsburgh is ahead of the game in so many different fields and its really a nice feeling to think that so much of it has to do with whats going on at our school. i feel like were all greatly working for one cause and setting up the community nicely with our discoveries and tribulations.... way to go pittsburgh, the more international offices here the better...
I would love to get into something like this as a designer and a writer. Video games fasinate because you come that one step closer to exsperiencing a scripted story.
I don't think I've ever heard of this company, but then again I'm not to big into racing games. Certainly racing games might be a nice start for someone just getting into the field...but at the same time, pretty quickly your gonna end up burnt out by essentially doing the exact same thing, over and over, with little variation besides graphical updates. Yet maybe if they absorb enough people from the E.T.C. program they will branch out a bit...
That would help Pittsburgh even more if this company came. Obviously Pittsburgh has been a dying city over the past decades but in the past few years, there seems to be somewhat of a resurgence. If companies continue to see how beneficial it could be to move their bases here, Pittsburgh could soon become more like the lively city of old.
