Brazil has officially adopted a new law redefining video games in the country and establishing guidelines to guarantee and regulate its industry’s future growth.
The bill was approved on May 3 by Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after two years of debates and lobbying from games trade body Abragames, regional associations, and studios in the country.
“The Legal Framework for Games will foster sector growth, create jobs, combat illicit activities, and reduce tax burdens,” said Senator Leila Barros, who carried the project alongside Senator Flávio Arns.
