Texas Adopts ‘Video Games Day’
Everything is bigger in Texas, atleast if you talk to its citizens that is what they’ll tell you. The video game industry looks to be no exception to the rule, as it is thriving in the land of the cowboys.
Texas set aside February 3rd, as a celebration of what they call, Entertainment Software Day (Video Games Day). The reason is that the state has had a local economic boom due to the impact of the video game industry.
None of this is by accident, as some Texas state senators had enough savvy to recognize how large the video game industry has become. Of course, the industry needed a place to call home and due to some tax breaks, many found it in Texas.
Michael Gallagher of the ESA had this to say about the latest announcement, “The support of Governor Perry, Senator Deuell and Representative Dukes for the entertainment software industry in Texas is an endorsement of the artistic and economic contributions our industry has made to the state…These lawmakers are helping grow our industry as we work to create new jobs for Texans; boost the state’s economy; and help discover new ways computer and videogames can improve the ways Americans live, work and play.”
