Funded by the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust, written by James Newman and Iain Simons and published in 2018, this White Paper was originally commissioned from the National Videogame Foundation and Bath Spa University in 2017.
The White Paper is concerned with the long-term sustainability of the UK videogame industry. While the economic and cultural value of videogames to the UK and global creative sectors is widely recognised, the long-term sustainability of games heritage is under severe threat.
Unless we act now, future generations will lose access to their cultural heritage and the next generation of UK developers will be robbed of historical reference material.
