"TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) - Grabbing a piece of the $20 billion video game industry, the Canadian government on Wednesday said it would invest CAN$2 million ($1.8 million) to develop homegrown video games.
Montreal-based Telefilm, Ottawa's film financier, invited Canadian video game makers to compete for the financing through a process entitled the Great Canadian Video Game Competition.
