John O'Reilly: Founder of Flightless Games studio reacts to sizable Budget investment into the gaming industry

Published: May 18, 2023, 8:39 p.m.

The Budget came with a somewhat surprising investment into the gaming sector.

Including a 20 percent rebate for video game developers and an allocation of $160 million.

Along with $27 million for a digital skills package with apprenticeship like pilot programmes.

Although it doesn't quite match what Australia has to offer it could help keep gaming in New Zealand.

John O'Reilly, founder and creative director of Flightless Games studio in Mount Maunganui, joined Mike Hosking.
