America used to be the place to go to get a job, to make it in the industry of computers, but that is all now becoming a pipe dream. Jobs are outsourced by companies to every country with a low pay rate, and knowlegable employees. I am of course refering to Tech jobs right now, not customer service jobs. Jobs get outsourced to places all around the world, India is one of the key countries of choice for this type of a business practice performed by american companies.

India recently started their very own Indian Games Industry and Trade Association (iGITA), The founding members of this association include Dhruva Interactive, Electronic Arts, Hungama, Indiagames, Mauj, Microsoft India (Entertainment & Devices Division), Mobile2Win, Paradox Studios, Small Device and Tinfo Mobile.

A media statement claimed that the organization is intended to be an important source for industry information, while also playing a vital role in encouraging investments in the Indian gaming market and in making vital recommendations that impact policy initiatives to stimulate growth in this arena.

Maybe this will end up boosting the game industry in India and cause it not to be worth outsourcing jobs. currently the gaming industry is the largest industry in America, and hopefull it will become so for India also.
