  • Finland also has a disproportionate amount of highly successful games compared to the population. I guess one theory is that good social safety nets make it more feasible for people to take a risk starting an indie game studio that might not yield any money for years instead of working for a big corporation for a guaranteed paycheck.




  • Yeah in many european countries while the minimum wage can be on par or lower than in the US but most of the time the cost of living is actually also low enough for it to be an actually liveable wage

    Living in finland i could (for now until our new government makes “improvements”) live semi-comfortably working only 30h/week on minimum wage*

    *finland has no national minimum wage but unions negotiate baseline contracts by field regularly(the contracts often include yearly raises to counteract inflation and also raises depending on number of years worked)
