There are a lot of benefits of gaming that people don't know about, including our government. Gaming needs more funding, more precisely, the up-and-coming gaming companies and development teams need more funding.
It's difficult enough to make a break-through in the gaming industry with funding, but with a lack of funding that task becomes increasingly more difficult...
