North Carolina Wants in on the Game

IGN: North Carolina Wants in on the Game

"In a time when states are trying to regulate video games left and right, you may be surprised to find out some states are actually offering tax breaks for game companies to set up shop within their borders.

North Carolina is the latest state attempting to woo developers with tax credits. Rep. Pryor Gibson (Dem.) recently introduced H2157, which would provide eligible firms a 15% break on their taxes just for making games. 'Eligible' means companies who aren't developing games with obscene content. (States all over the country have been trying to enact legislation which would classify games with sexual content as 'obscene.')

North Carolina is already home to Epic Games (Gears of War, Unreal) and Virtual Heroes (America's Army)."
