Recently, the plenary session of the European Parliament passed a resolution attaching importance to the development of the video game industry with a high vote, calling on Europe to formulate a long-term development strategy to support the development of start-ups in the field of video games in the EU. As the first resolution involving the development of the video game industry adopted by the EU session, it has aroused widespread concern.

In China, for a long time, the entertainment properties of video games always make people ignore the significance of science and technology behind them. The game, which is born with the digital economy, has also grown from a popular entertainment need to a new industry. In fact, games have been inseparable from cutting-edge technology since their birth. With the vigorous development momentum, the game industry has also helped several industries to release the new dynamic energy of the digital economy.

At present, game technology plays an important role in helping the development of advanced technologies and industries such as 5G, the chip industry, and artificial intelligence. Along with the rapid development of the digital economy, game technology has been used in more and more different fields such as digital cultural preservation, industrial simulation, smart city, and film and television production.

Game technology keeps breaking circles and crossing borders, becoming an important tool to promote different industries to carry out digital transformation, move towards digital-real integration and build digital twins, and start to create greater social value in a wider scope.

With the newly passed resolution in the European Parliament, China has started to shift its acknowledgment of video games. With a change of mind, the settlement of a structural regulation for game grading, industrial development, and strategic planning is to be expected with an optimistic piece of mind.
