The European Audiovisual Observatory, part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, has published its latest report, "Legal challenges and market dynamics in the video games sector". This is the first time the Observatory has ever looked at the gaming industry and the result is a comprehensive round-up of the current state of the legal and market landscape in Europe.
Authored by leading experts from across Europe, this new report highlights the rapid evolution of this sector, from market growth and technological advancements to the accompanying regulatory frameworks and user protection. Covering industry structure, economic models, intellectual property (IP) protection, and player safety, this new report is divided in three main parts and provides key insights into one of Europe's most dynamic creative industries.
