Fantastic news. The motion to debate Scotland's Games Action Plan has been approved and the debate will take place on TUE FEB 3rd 2026 (time TBC). Details below: scottishgames.net/2026/01/30/fro m-paper-to-parliament-national-games-debate-confirmed-for-tuesday-feb-2nd/ #LevelUpScotland

This is exactly what Scotland’s games industry needs and wants, Brian - let’s get this debated 🤩❤️‍🔥

One of the mot gratifying things about the Games Action Plan is that it's not rocket science. It asks for some basic help and an understanding of the unique aspects of the games ecosystem. So the plan aligns very neatly with many of the other calls for intervention & support for business in Scotland

I'm looking for support to have Scotland's Games Action Plan debated in the Scottish Parliament. There is a motion for such a debate (S6M-20521) currently lodged. Can you lend your support and help build Scotland into the UK's first #games #supercluster worth £1Bn? scottishgames.net/2026/01/23/s...

Dear people of #Scotland. 2 national newspaper covers in a week might seem a 'bit much' but it's hugely important that the Government supports #Scotland's videogames ecosystem through the new #LevelUp Games Action Plan. Please email or find your MSP on social. Ask them to support Motion S6M-20521

I started last week with a 4pp story in the Herald. It closed with another in-depth piece from our friends at the Courier, which talks about my slightly... unusual (?) entry into the games sector, DMA Design, joining Rockstar (sans NDA) & the Games Action Plan. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/business-...

Can you help to support the future of #videogames in #Scotland? We have a motion lodged in parliament for a debate around the Games Action Plan, which would put it right at the forefront of the government's to do list. Please ask your MSPs to support the motion. scottishgames.net/2026/01/26/t...
