gamescom congress Opening: Debatt(l)e Royale

In the "Debatt(l)e Royale" - the Political Arena at gamescom - top politicians discuss topics that move the gamescom community. This will provide a platform for a direct exchange between politics and the digital generation, which is urgently needed after the emotional debates on copyright reform and environmental policy as well as in Rezo's sweeping blow. These debates will be taken up in the talk, as well as many other topics, which the gamescom congress will deepen later in the day in numerous panels and lectures. The debate will be broadcast live on gamescom now.
