No vidya investors in the Midwest, expect maybe Texas?
Texas has Id and Gearbox, who might as well not be midwest. And Austin is the hotspot for game companies in texas. Though not as big as Seattle or Santa Monica/ Irvine.
rednecks don't care about children's toys
Rednecks developed Doom. Or at least edgy midwest suburban guys did.
It gets cold as shit in the winter, bro.
No local talent. Young folks with aspirations flock to Cali and NYC, where they think they can make it big. Earning 100k$ as a junior(although you spend 2/3rds of that on rent and food) sounds like a great deal. Midwest isn't that appealing and has a different mentality.
Ironic considering the midwest was the founder of the computer and game development industry.
All large investors are there and all talent is there.
There are studios all over it's just they're mostly smaller/indie ones.
