This has led to numerous articles on Games Industry.biz. The companies involved say it is unfair as other countries such as Canada are drawing the talent pool toward their countries. Recently Ubisoft set up a eight hundred capacity mega studio in Canada. The covering occupants in terms of developers residing there is 50 and they hope to increase the capacity to the full quota of 800 over a period of three years.
