Minister of Economy Nihat Zeybekci visited Taleworlds Entertainment and promised continuing support to Turkish game developers (2017).

I posted this because I noticed a lot of people here still think TW being funded by the govt is actually a meme. It's not. They're heavily funded by the turkish government as we can see in the article.

To support the local industry, we cover 50% of cost of marketing expenses up to $200,000. We provide up to $100,000 to gaming companies to cover their costs of store commissions. We also aid the companies up to $50,000 yearly for engineer salaries.

Considering the values in the article are all in american dollars and 1USD=6.1TL (Turkish Lira), here's the converted values:

  • $1.2M for Marketing
  • $600K for Store Comissions
  • $300K for Payroll

Summing up a total of $1.9M turkish liras yearly.
