In November 2007, Longtail Studios Inc. of New York opened a new video game production facility in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Longtail Studios Inc. will join several game development firms in Prince Edward Island offering attractive career opportunities in the exciting video game development industry. Company President Gerard Guillemot and Head of Production Jason Altman find the island to be “a video-game-friendly business environment that has all the ingredients for success.” The company plans to hire at least 40 people over the next two years, and Guillemot adds, “Through local recruitment and the attraction of top level talent, we will be able to establish a world class studio.”
