The Agency for the Development of Computer Sports also reckons Russia can produce two games consoles by 2030, somehow.
, Russian authorities are hoping to establish a new set of institutions to stabilise and corral Russian game development. On top of two bodies intended to focus on industry regulation, research, and training, officials also want to establish"Rosgame": A centre for the"strategic development" of the Russian games industry, which would focus on the"regeneration and the development of the industry" as well as the"development and publishing of games".
The bigwigs have three possible scenarios for Rosgame in mind, ranging from the unlikely to the absurd. The first, a so-called"stabilisation scenario," envisions a $7 billion investment that sees the games industry recover and Russia enter the ranks of the"top 20 game development countries" by 2030. There's also an"ambitious scenario," requiring a $20 billion injection, which would entail an"industry breakthrough".
But where the rubber really hits the road is in the $50 billion"leadership scenario," which would apparently see the Russian games scene turn into a"tool" that could go toe-to-toe with games industry titans by 2030. Soft power, if you're unaware, refers to cultural influence—the power to persuade and co-opt others to adopt your values—in contrast to military and economic hard power.
Suggesting that even they might be aware of how unlikely that sounds, the office of Dmitry Chernyshenko, Russia's deputy PM for Tourism, Sport, Culture, and Communications, clarified that the authorities haven't really figured out how to fund any of that yet, and that"extra-budgetary mechanisms" will likely be the proposal.
A document prepared by the non-profit Agency for the Development of Computer Sports and Other Types of Sport , whose representatives were also in attendance at the December meeting, proposed some concrete goals for the Gaming Industry of the Future project. Apart from establishing a Russian EA, ARKIVS imagines that, by 2030, Russian game development will have earned a billion foreign users, produced four Russian game engines, and have [deep breath] somehow produced two new games consoles.
