FFF Bayern Supported 329 Games With 21,720,997 Euros
During the warm-up for tomorrow's German Computer Game Award, FFF Bayern also celebrated the 15th anniversary of games funding in the state of Bavaria. In addition to astonishing figures from Managing Director Dorothee Erpenstein, there were also congratulations from the Bavarian Digital Minister, who was in attendance.
On the eve of the German Computer Game Award (Deutscher Computerspielpreis, DCP) ceremony, which will take place in Munich this year, the FFF Bayern, the institution responsible for games funding in Bavaria, hosted a relaxed warm-up event. Many representatives of the Munich and Bavarian games industry accepted the invitation, as well as representatives from other German states, the German Games Association and the German Ministry of Economics. They all found themselves at a kind of birthday party, as the FFF Bayern also used the reception to celebrate a special anniversary: in 2009, 15 years ago, games were funded in Bavaria for the first time - with the "staggering sum" of €240,000, as Bavarian Digital Minister Dr Fabian Mehring, who was also present, ironically said.
