German Scholars Launch Deutsche Gesellschaft für Spielwissenschaft
This is an important step for game sciences in Germany. Representatives from research and university professors have institutionalised the discipline with the founding of the German Society for Game Sciences (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Spielwissenschaft e.V.), with Stephan Jacob and Jens Junge as chairmen. This is a step that has long since been taken in many countries, such as the USA and South Korea.
