I live in Cape Town, South Africa (I am South African), and realized at an early stage, as a gaming enthusiast, that to get into game dev in this country you need to start your own thing. I couldn't afford to do that so just ended up in a tech/dev role in the fintech industry.
There is so much talent and drive in the youth of SA (and a significant gaming market, that is mostly ignored by the likes of EA, we don't get any servers down here :/ ), that has not been jaded yet. I am convinced it wont be long till lots of really awesome game studios start popping up...
I am not sure what I am trying to get at here... Maybe that I want your money to start a game studio.
