German government wants games like Baldur’s Gate 3 to ‘also go on to be developed in Germany’

The real challenge will be to foster the development of games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and not games like Skull and Bones.
Yeah, that’s the problem Germany needs to fix right now.
For those who may not know, some governments subsidize their gaming industries. As a more common example, Poland has given millions to CDPR for a variety of reasons, including research into game development.
Things like video games enhance a countries culture, which drives tourism and trade, which are boons to a country’s economy.
The more studios there are the better it is for us gamers. Competition encourages innovation and quality.
Well maybe you shouldn’t massivly reduce the game funding/subsidize from 70 Mil in 2022 to 48 Mil in 2024 … just a thought
I suggest Piranha Bytes to develop such game /s
Well, well, well, looks like Germany wants to level up the game development scene! Time to bring some of that Baldur’s Gate magic to the homeland, huh?
You want to know how to get games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Germany?
*Outlaw The Activision-EA business model!*
If pushing an illegal online casino on children is the best way for “AAA” companies to make money, that’s what they’ll do. If you *make that illegal*, they will have to make money by selling quality products instead.
One guy from parliament visiting an awards show and making a vague comment is not “the German government wants”.
Germany has always given out money to game developers to strengthen their presence in the country. It’s also always refused to sponsor games that primarily revolve around violence, and it won’t start now. Baldur’s Gate 3 is rated ‘18 – not suitable for minors’ in Germany. There was a time not too long ago when it wouldn’t even have been eligible for a Spielepreise on that alone. And that makes Kellner’s comment more funny and ironic than anything else.
Mind flayers have infiltrated the Nazi party!
Germany and digital stuff is sadly like oil and water
alot of corps are fleeing Germany right now so good luck with that endeavor
