Should Tiga and UKIE merge?

Should the UK’s two leading games industry trade groups merge as one?

It’s a question that Tiga and UKIE have deeply considered, but partnership talks between both the associations broke down earlier this year.

But what’s best for the games industry? Is it necessary to have two trade bodies to represent different views in the industry, or could their combined forces have a bigger influence in Parliament?

Develop wants a consensus on the matter, and has launched a new survey for industry professionals.

Take part in our eight-question survey and you’ll also be entered into a prize draw to win a ticket to London Games Conference on 10 November (worth £269).
