Microsoft to open new gaming studio in Victoria, BC
Microsoft is planning to open a new gaming studio in Victoria, BC that could employ as many as 60 people, reports The Vancouver Sun. Microsoft's Chris Robertson says that the location was chosen due to its proximity to Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, and due to the fact that Microsoft gaming head Don Mattrick lives in nearby Oak Bay.
Microsoft will open its first retail store in the Chicago area at Oak Brook Center, a source close to the company says.
