The event will let consumers, from avid gamers to newcomers, discover and purchase the original, stimulating and entertaining games designed and created here, then enjoy them solo, with family or with friends. It will also be a perfect opportunity to find gifts, for yourself or others, ahead of the holidays.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cQuebec is recognized around the world as an exceptional breeding ground for talent and creativity,\u201d says Chlo\u00e9 Lussier, CEO of Lowbirth Games and spokesperson for the event. \u201cYet our games are often better known abroad than at home. In fact, they are played by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This initiative will give them, as well as our creators and the entire Quebec industry, major visibility. Titles like South of Midnight, Sea of Stars and Paralives are gems recognized everywhere, and we can all be proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our video game artists and developers deserve the same recognition as other professionals in the cultural sector, such as film and literature. Games made in Quebec enrich our collective cultural life and are part of our DNA. Economically, they generate an impact of $1.4 billion. While shining a spotlight on the expertise of our creators, the event will strengthen pride in, and a sense of belonging to, our talent and our creations.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>A one-of-a-kind platform to find it all<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another important new showcase for the Quebec gaming industry and its creators: an enhanced version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamesfromquebec.com\/\">Games from Quebec<\/a> (Jeux vid\u00e9o du Qu\u00e9bec) portal will list every game developed in whole or in part in Quebec, by independent or international companies.
