  • GAMING GLOBAL a Report for British Council Nick Webber and Paul Long with Assistance from Oliver Williams and Jerome Turner
    GAMING GLOBAL A report for British Council Nick Webber and Paul Long with assistance from Oliver Williams and Jerome Turner I Executive Summary The Gaming Global report explores the games environment in: five EU countries, • Finland • France • Germany • Poland • UK three non-EU countries, • Brazil • Russia • Republic of Korea and one non-European region. • East Asia It takes a culturally-focused approach, offers examples of innovative work, and makes the case for British Council’s engagement with the games sector, both as an entertainment and leisure sector, and as a culturally-productive contributor to the arts. What does the international landscape for gaming look like? In economic terms, the international video games market was worth approximately $75.5 billion in 2013, and will grow to almost $103 billion by 2017. In the UK video games are the most valuable purchased entertainment market, outstripping cinema, recorded music and DVDs. UK developers make a significant contribution in many formats and spaces, as do developers across the EU. Beyond the EU, there are established industries in a number of countries (notably Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand) who access international markets, with new entrants such as China and Brazil moving in that direction. Video games are almost always categorised as part of the creative economy, situating them within the scope of investment and promotion by a number of governments. Many countries draw on UK models of policy, although different countries take games either more or less seriously in terms of their cultural significance. The games industry tends to receive innovation funding, with money available through focused programmes.

In case of any differences between the Polish and the English versions, the Polish version shall prevail. CI Games, its representatives and employees decline all responsibility in this regard. 2 Dear Stockholders, In the previous year, CI Games consistently implemented its overall business strategy. The highest investment expenditures were associated with production of the latest sniper game, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. Some of the funds were spent on production of Lords of the Fallen 2 and, through our subsidiary United Label, for indie games of independent producers. In 2019, CI Games sold over 1.7 million PC and console games, achieving PLN 47.5 million of revenues from sales for the entire previous year and a gross profit of PLN 0.2 million. In the second quarter of 2019, we decided to terminate the development partnership of Lords of the Fallen 2 with Defiant Studios, located in New York. We analyzed various opportunities and chose to move ongoing production of this game to our internal team and complement with select developer subcontractors as needed. The plan is to significantly increase staffing for the internal production studios in three locations. Currently, the Lords of the Fallen 2 project is overseen by two very experienced producers, with whom we have developed a more modern product vision and direction for this franchise. At the same time, we want to utilize the work that has already been completed wherever possible.
