All video games in Québec to be avalaible in French (19)

August 20th, 2007 · by Heri · video games

loi 101

CBC reports that the provincial governement and the Entertainement Software Association of Canada have struck a deal, which will force video games companies to release all video games titles sold in Québec to be translated in French.

In a province where up to 37.5% of video games developers’ wages are subsidized by the governement, this seems as a normal measure. It also sounds logical, seeing the number of video games already produced locally, in Montréal and Québec city. Now, I also expect Québecers to get much less video games titles in their hands, in upcoming years, except of course from blockbuster releases. Video game companies are not public organizations anyway, they follow market laws.
