The good vibes and learning points from the PEGI Congress in November 2010 were taken along into the new year and put to good use. PEGI is well established as the standard system for the “traditional” boxed game market as a trusted source of information for parents and other consumers. We have almost reached the point where PEGI is only unknown to parents if they deliberately choose to ignore video games entirely. A mistake, since practically every child or teenager in Europe enjoys video games. Promoting an active parental involvement in the gaming experiences of their children is a primary objective for PEGI, which situates itself at the heart of that.

  • Game Development, Education & Incubation
    Game Development, Education & Incubation A brief overview of Scandinavian game development, markets, education, and support structures. A report from the EU-Interreg IVa funded project Scandinavian Game Developers. Main author: THE EUROPEAN UNION Björn Berg Marklund The European Regional [email protected] Development Fund Introduction This brief inventory and analysis of the state of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian game development aim to highlight past and current trends within the regions’ industries and supporting structures. In a short period of time, the situation for game developers has been severely altered as a result of the closure of big players and the rapid evolution of the marketplace. The industry in each country has been able to adapt to these changes well, and we’ve seen a dramatic industry expansion in the past couple of years as the main turbulence has subsided and new companies are given space and opportunity to establish themselves. In Sweden, Mojang has played an important role when it comes to characterizing the industry as the company’s policies are quite indicative of where Swedish game development is heading and what it has been shifting towards in past years. In 2010 and 2011, approximately 49 new companies were founded in Sweden, which is reminiscent of the rapid industry expansion industry in 2006-07 before it slowed down due to the economic turmoil around 2008. A huge influx of smaller indie developers are cropping up all over Sweden and all but a few focuses on creating entertainment titles for the new markets and distribution channels. The Danish industry has enjoyed an equally impressive expansion in recent years.
