Poland will support video game producers

The National Center for Research and Development (NCBR) has accepted a program, put forward by an organization representing video game producers, to introduce public subsidies for the sector. "A positive recommendation granted by experts has given the green light to launch the program," said Kamil Melcer, the spokesman for NCBR. The first subsidies will be paid out next year, upon the completion of consultation with the business concerning the scope and value of the program. Melcer said that the money can be only used  for R&D purposes and not to finance the development of games.
