My first company, Deep Fried Entertainment, which we grew to a mid-sized studio, did—absolutely. The type of program that he was describing did in fact benefit us, and the tighter timelines we're hearing about would be an additional benefit. We did use that program to bring in Chinese nationals, very experienced programmers with Ph.D.s, to help us in the specific area of a physics engine we were designing, and it was very beneficial to the studio.
In the current climate in Vancouver it's a bit different, because we have more talent than we do opportunities for them to work. It's shifted a little in that particular city.
