      abstract = {This study explores the evolution and success drivers of  the global video game industry, focusing on key hubs within  Finland, Poland, Japan, and the United States. Using a  qualitative methodology, the research delves into how  unique capabilities and historical development have  contributed to the industry's growth across these nations.  The findings reveal diverse pathways to building video game  industry clusters, emphasizing the role of cross-industry  skill transfer, intellectual property, and government  support. In traditional hubs like Japan and the United  States, the crossover of capabilities from entertainment  and hardware industries has been crucial, whereas, in newer  hubs like Finland and Poland, the growth is attributed to  unique local developments such as hobby coder communities  or leveraging the initial localization efforts to build  globally appealing games. It further highlights the pivotal  role of education in sustaining the growth of video game  industry hubs.},
