Speaking to an audience of industry professionals and press at the 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit, Perry, archetype of the jovial Texan, said, "Gamers get so used to respawning themselves that they’re willing to keep going when their health meter is down to real-life zero. There are more than a few people in this room who have ridden an ill-fated game into the ground, bounced back up and went at it again. They’re still chasing dreams, but this time, they’re... wiser and more committed to succeed."
Perry hopes that spirit will help drive the economy in Texas, and in that vein the state currently offers $250,000 in economic incentives to game companies who spend that money within the state. But he’d like to do more, he said.
