German article?[edit]

How come there's no German article? Or am I missing something? -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 02:35, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hardware[edit]

Hi, perhaps a section on hardware (made/designed in Germany) could be included here. Infineon is relevant in chip technology, and firms like Roccat in manual devices. Cheers, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 11:56, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Video gaming[edit]

Am I the only one uncomfortable with the framing of video gaming in this article? As in most other "Video gaming in..." articles, it's not really about the gaming, it's about industries (production, sales, perhaps consumption) and sometimes about bans or censorship, but not about the actual gaming as in people playing videogames. I would suggest splitting the stubs into articles with titles that match the content such as "German video game market", "German video game industry" and so on. Or perhaps finding real content about gaming: player demographics, competitions and lans, local game history and culture... Grbr (talk) 20:14, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Media[edit]

Some important media like GameStar, PC Games, Computerbild Spiele, GamesWirtschaft etc. should be included here. -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 14:19, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
