Yeah, today is the 3rd of June, and I woke up, rather sick, but who cared. Checked out my favourite sites in the www, and came accross an interesting article on spiegel.de!

Actually the good old 'Hansestadt' Hamburg was always known to be one of Germany's most liberal cities, which has it's roots in history, but blablubb don't need to go that through :D The interesting point is: Hamburg acknowledged that the "gaming-phenomenon" has loads of potentialities, and is a big part in youth culture nowadays.

This happens to be the first time that major German politicans stopped to fight the gaming community, and instead try to work together with this big industry in order to boost the economy and get some influence on what's to be seen on the PC/TV-screens in some years.Therefor a 100.000 € budget has been set up, which will help new game designers in Hamburg, so that they'll be able to develop some good techniques, and get a chance to come into contact with bigger development companies.

No doubt - this 100.000€ budget won't help anyone, but the message beyond is unique in Germany - nice to read such news on such a dull morning :)

Maybe there will be a pretty bright future for "eSports" in Germany, I personally like to think of Germany as the best country for gamers in Europe anyhow, beside Sweden (they are imba anyway)... now I need some breakfast, cyo guys ;-)
