Reminder that the EU already did a whole ass research project into video games and came up with points that could support SKG, even as far as IP law goes which people keep touting as an impossible hurdle.

>Actually you'll need to reinvent IP law to make regulating video games like this possible!
Meanwhile
>Video games are a form of cultural expression with a profound impact on society and a strong transnational reach. IP reform is an important step to magnify this impact. Europe has a semi-harmonized copyright system which makes navigation unnecessarily complex. Video games were not taken into consideration during IP law’s initial development, and even recent reforms tend to overlook the specific nature of video games in relation to IP. Moreover, regulations in place for the protection of cultural heritage are not designed to protect interactive digital products, which raises threat to European digital heritage. Compared to countries such as the US, Europe is lagging behind on proper policies and education efforts on the patent regime: this needs to be addressed as high-quality IP and regulatory frameworks will end up attracting talents and,therefore, creating the largest impact on the future of video games globally. The recognition of video games as complex works by the European Court of Justice will have an important impact, as well as the implementation of the DSM Copyright Directive on a national level, and the harmonisation of the system across Europe.
