While I agree that it looks like video game companies make a lot of money and seem like they could help our economy, I very much doubt that the incentives in this bill are going to encourage them to uproot and move here. Not enough to make up for the costs to our state. If you want to incentivize their employees to move here, I would suggest improving our public schools and cleaning our water.
