Dublin could become game industry hub

Dublin could become the game development capital of Europe, given the right tax incentives, according to Popcap Games general manager Paul Breslin.

Mr Breslin was speaking at yesterday’s first ever Games Ireland industry gathering, hosted before a capacity audience in the Gibson Hotel, Dublin. Subtitled Gig 2012, the Games Ireland event brought together some of Ireland’s most ambitious game development firms.

“The Irish games industry is going phenomenally well,” said Mr Breslin. “Ireland is really punching above its weight in the area.”
