Cool, it's great to see governments realizing the potential impact the games industry will have on the economy. Hopefully this is a continuing trend that'll make us some o' dat Internet munnay!

Being from Wisconsin, currently living in the Milwaukee area, I have to say that this is big news.

Not just for the implications this has on game developement here, but because Wisonsin taxes fucking blow, and ANY tax break for ANYthing is big news.

As long as it leads to more realistic rendering of our Bovine friends in video games, only good can come from this.

Wisconsin has a really nice Urban:Rural layout, would be a nice place to do business (albeit, do it far away from Publishers and Trade Shows). Also, Port Washington is loverly!

is this really going to be enough to convince any developer to move to Wisconsin?? Wisconsin is a great place to live, but not exactly a technology hotbed

I wonder if this has any to do with Google opening up an Office here in Madison.

^^^....WTF?!
Ok, first of all, Obama has absolutely SHIT to do with this topic, so congratulations on being illiterate.
Secondly, Obama is the one that opposed raising taxes on the oil companies because he was smart enough to call it a quick fix that would do nothing to solve the problem. Hillary was the "brilliant" one that tried (failed) to gain votes by supporting something that would (try to) lower gas prices.

Congratulations, you and Hillary are both idiots.

Being from right outside of Madison (DeForest) I'm very happy to see this happen. And anyone who thinks Wisconsin would be a bad place for business doesn't exactly know the Madison area. It is one of the most progressive cities in the United States and consistently voted one of top cities in the US. Plus, where else can you see cows when you stand atop the captiol? :p (kidding, top floor is restricted)

"On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Grand old badger state!
We, thy loyal sons and daughters,
Hail thee good and great.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Champion of the right,
"Forward!", our motto -
God will give thee might!"

God I love my state. You just can't beat beer, brats, cheese and entertainment tax breaks.
