The Savegame perspective
For governments, associations and institutions looking beyond the next release.
Games are a form of cultural expression, an economic activity and a space for innovation. Developing this industry requires an understanding of the relationships between creators, investors and policymakers.
We work at that intersection, combining rigorous research, close engagement with creators and attention to the realities of the Global South.
