UK games industry "fundamentally misunderstood", new report calls for unified research framework

UKIE and OKRE have proposed a unified research framework to better understand and demonstrate the economic and social value of the UK games industry. The report highlights significant research gaps, particularly in understanding the third-party use and exploitation of games, and calls for collaboration between industry, government, and academia to address these issues. The framework aims to provide a more sophisticated understanding of games as a cultural phenomenon with impacts across healthcare, education, and culture.
