500 new jobs is a fairly significant boost to the economy. congrats to the IDA and blizzard for making this happen. I’m sure there’s plenty of people in Cork smiling about this one.
Fair enough, the jobs seems to be "call centre – esque" but that article on gamesindustry mentions about tools and technology training.
Surely it can’t be long before all the comp sci grads in Cork are realised as a great natural resource and some development work makes its way to Cork.
Anyone know how many staff are based at the French HQ? (as a comparison?)
