The German Games Industry Association (Game) has issued a call to action urging policymakers in Germany and Europe to implement stronger regulatory and financial frameworks to support the video game industry. The statement highlights that European game production capacity remains weak by international standards due to insufficient governmental support. Key demands include start-up funding, production support, improved infrastructure, skilled worker immigration, and a tax-based funding system aligned with international norms. Game also argues that a strong domestic games industry is vital for digital sovereignty and has broader societal benefits, including fostering democratic participation and digital skills across education, industry, and research.
