I will do my best to carry the voice of the thousands of incredibly talented indie developers in Europe with the EGDF partners.”
“France is a pillar in the European video games industry and its developer community has shown its capabilities to renew itself and stay on top – as such we are very happy that with David Rabineau as part of the board a new generation steps up to shape the European games ecosystem. EGDF was always about hearing the industry’s needs without disrupting what we have achieved already in the past – our new board reflects this approach and will help us achieve our goals even more effectively than before. ” stated Hendrik Lesser, president of EGDF.
