Mass. college to create game incubation center

Does this mean that they will stop the attack on gaming?????????? Or is this a ploy to infiltrate our ranks? If genuine, that would be a good thing for all.

i was thinking about going there and then realized that getting a degree in game design would be pointless. I'm gonna go somewhere for computer science and maybe that will take me to the game industry that I have dreamed of working in since I was like 5 years old

Interesting. I hire a lot of game developers on the Boston scene, and I've run across many a resume from Becker. I'm not trying to diss Becker college, but it's my personal opinion that that the graduates are not prepared enough for a professional career in games, especially given the tuition costs.

I hope that this program helps them educate a group of students more prepared to work in the industry.

Awesome stuff now unto the my main concern when it comes to this as i have this problem with all videogame schools, i'd like to know what the tuition prices are looking like for classes!!

gamers is best in this world than hacker.......

I wonder what effect that will have. Will it lead to a Mass. Effect?

Now that's awesome. Any investment in education is a great thing. We need more skilled labor in the workforce. Too many jobs and Walmart and McDonalds. xD

I have that old mac. It's still pretty fast for an all in one from 2007, can play bioshock infinite better than than the consoles

NOOOO!!! The money is going to train people to be mass murderers like the politicians say!! Dear god, WHY?!?!

But I thought video games caused violence? *sarcasm*

This is good. The Quebec government does a similar thing in Canada. Giving millions of dollars so game studios could hire the best talent. One of the reasons there are multiple triple AAA studios in Montreal. Glad to see this happening in other places.

It'll bolster some revenue, and its a good idea since the film industry is being exported out of the states little by little. Wish there where more jobs but this is a well advised step. I'm not just saying that because I'm a gamer, and I'm not a US citizen admittedly. Just seems better than lawsuits and repeated, expensive case studies.

Damn I should come to US!

Wish we could get something like this in the north of England.

Too much focus is placed on London in this country. I don't actually know anyone who genuinely wants to live there. It's a shit-hole, but that's where all the job opportunities are.

Still doesn't beat having Brian Moriarty as your IMGD professor.

Good stuff. I wish that game development was a more socially acceptable career choice when I was growing up; it is probably where I would have been now if it were, or more schools made programs available.

I think this is awesome.

But on a funnier note, the U.S. Government which helped to create Game Incubation Center, is also funding studies about how destructive they may be to people... including young kids. Can you say hypocrite?

That is so badass!
