Tiga

TIGA is an association that was set up to support the gaming industry in the UK that is a link between developers in the industry and the governtment (which promotes successful decisions and laws). It also ensures that there are faces to represent the development of video games within the media industry. There have been a recent decline in internationally successful games being released from the UK, the TIGA website claims that "Between July 2008 and July 2009 the headcount at British video games studios fell by 4 per cent, and 15 per cent (44) of British video games development studios, publishing and service companies went out of business", which is the reason why TIGA is so patriotic in that it supports growth within the UK games industry, and it's goal is for it to flourish.
