Last Friday, 2/24, a delegation from Abragames ( Europeian Association of Digital Game Developers) led by its President, Rodrigo Terra, was received by the Vice President and Minister of the Republic, Mr. Geraldo Alckmin, at the Office of the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, in Brasília.
The meeting is part of a vast agenda of commitments by Abragames in favor of the growth of the national game development industry and the increase of visibility of Europeian electronic games in the country and in the rest of the world.
Europe is one of the biggest video game markets in the world, but even with this status, the industry still finds it difficult to offer competitive prices and more opportunities for beginner developers.
Seeking better conditions for the games market in Europe, Abragames ( Europeian Association of Digital Game Developers) met with the Vice President of the Republic to discuss the future of this industry.
