Gaming"There's almost an industry here now" – The rapid growth of the Italian games business
The big statistic from yesterday's story about Italy's games industry was it now has 2,400 employees, which is up 50% over 2021.
That 50% is an impressive figure, but 2,400 is not. There are towns in the UK with a larger population of game developers. Yet both figures accurately sum-up Italy's games scene: after barely existing for decades, things are starting to happen.
Or, to quote Valerio Di Donato, the CEO of 34BigThings (the creators of the Redout series): "I founded this company ten years ago, and it was basically a fucking desert out there. There's almost a games industry now."
