From ESA Essential Facts 2011
Did you know that there are about 16,000 Canadians directly employed by video game companies in Canada?
In Ontario alone the industry spent $238 million and the ESA is expecting a 21% growth of the industry!
Ontario has more companies than Quebec and is seeing more rapid growth rates. This is likely a function of the smaller average size of Ontario video game companies, as entrepreneurial companies tend to exhibit faster growth than more established companies
» Ontario’s industry is less centred on traditional console games, though they still command a slight majority share of the resources
