The German Games Industry Association has released its updated list of 10 demands for politicians, aimed at strengthening Germany as a hub for the games industry. The demands are outlined in the Annual Report of the German Games Industry 2024, which provides an overview of the video game market, players, and industry in Germany. The association's managing director, Felix Falk, emphasized the need for sustainable, swift, and ambitious measures to establish Germany as a strong games location.

The 10 demands focus on various aspects, such as the establishment of competitive games funding, location marketing, games development infrastructure, skilled labor, youth protection, and esports. The first demand is divided into three areas: the creation of games funding, location marketing, and games development infrastructure through hubs with incubation and accelerator programs.

The report also highlights the importance of skilled labor, modern youth protection legislation, digital infrastructure, and security measures to combat online hate, trolling, and piracy. Additionally, the association stresses the potential of esports in talent development, tournaments, and public interest.

The annual report features interviews with experts on topics like minor protection and environmental protection in the gaming industry. The complete list of the 10 demands and the annual report are available on the association's website.
