New York Game Companies (list of)

A few months ago, the Center for an Urban Future published a report on the challenges and opportunities of the NYC game industry. As the first of its kind, it takes a long hard look at NYC game scene. According to them, there are fifty-five companies in total, employing approximately 1,200 people. (To compare, Boston houses 75 and Maryland 60.)

Anyway, as my graduation nears, I’m reviewing employment options. One of which is a job in the game industry. After the jump, there’ll be a happy list of ninety-three game and game-related (i.e. music) companies in NY. For your convenience.

This Friday, I’m organizing a two-panel discussion at the Columbia Business School. One of the panels will focus on NYC-based game development and publishing. I will do a quick write-up afterwards. Promise.
