Sucumba Games reported that the federal government signed today the decree that regulated the Legal Framework for Electronic Games, a law enacted by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2024 and which, according to the publication, was awaiting regulation. The company stated that the law originated from a project presented in 2021 by federal deputy Kim Kataguiri and underwent changes during its passage through Congress. According to Sucumba Games, the law aimed to strengthen the Brazilian gaming industry by recognizing the development of games as an activity related to innovation, economy, and culture, as well as allowing eligible companies to seek public incentives for innovation, research, and culture. The publication also pointed out that the regulation dispensed with prior state authorization to develop and market games, without dismissing the classification and other applicable laws. The company added that the measures included support for professional training and the creation of training spaces, in addition to the regulation of customs procedures and import taxes on equipment such as devkits. It also mentioned the use of games in educational activities, professional training, simulations, therapies, and communication. Sucumba Games further stated that the law provided protection for children and adolescents, mechanisms for reporting and contesting penalties in youth games with user interaction, and the registration of games with the INPI to enhance the protection of industrial property. #JogosEletrônicos #IndústriaDeGames #Inovação (translated)
