Briefly: Graham Smith has written a fantastic piece on RPS that argues the need for the BBC – a public body, not a company – to get involved in making games. “America, of course, embraced commercial television. Britain was different. We had a tradition of broadcasting as a public service.”

I’ve wondered a few times why the ABC isn’t more involved in games. Seems like the kind of thing that should be.
Good Game is a pretty decent gaming show! I think that we’re dreaming if we think our current government is going to help the gaming industry in this way though – they won’t even support a world class communications network…
The BBC aren’t just tax funded – You have to pay for TV in the UK. I believe they also get a cut of those profits.
Yep, we totally need more Government. They have such a fantastic track record with everything they do… O.o
Are you really lumping in every government with your statement? Look at Channel 4, it’s publicly-owned but it’s producing high quality stuff.
There was a need?
What, making a computer wasn’t enough?
