It's not all doom and gloom in the world of gaming employment: Publisher Stardock is expanding its operations by opening a second studio in Michigan.
The new studio, and the 50 developers the firm is hiring to staff it, are scheduled to work on "an as-of-yet unannounced RPG title developed and published by independent developer Stardock Entertainment."
Though the economic climate is decidedly poor and Michigan isn't known as a hotbed of games development, Stardock was offered numerous tax perks and access to a powerful communications infrastructure as incentive to build there.
"We’re very pleased with the support we’ve received from Wayne County and the state of Michigan," said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. "We think Michigan is well placed to become a hub for technology companies thanks to new programs from the state to make Michigan more competitive to do business in. We look forward to continuing our strong growth with additional development projects over the next couple of years."
