Aaron Trebble and Gemma Woodhead from our Interactive Entertainment team have been busy at the VGBA EuroSummit and Gamescom this week, meeting with industry friends and colleagues! 🎮 💬 “The scale and reach of the industry was truly on show at this major showcase event.

Key legal themes discussed included regulation (the EU AI Act, DSA, DMA and OSA), lootboxes (about which there is still plenty to say), all things AI law (including the IP aspects), managing online and offline harassment and data breach response.
