Games funding in Germany

Federal Court of Audit Wades Into the Funding Debate and is Criticised by game

In a "final audit report", the Federal Court of Audit has criticised the way in which federal funding for games is handled in Germany. Although the criticism is primarily aimed at the previous government's concept of funding, it also concerns the creation of a new funding guideline. Criticism comes from game: the Federal Court of Auditors fails to recognise the global market reality.
