JAKARTA - Game developers have lauded the revamp of the Creative Economy Ministry in Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s Red and White Cabinet, particularly the appointment of a former gaming investment professional as deputy minister.
They suggested that the new structure, which excludes tourism as part of the ministry’s responsibilities, would increase the government’s focus on the emerging gaming industry and might help address longstanding problems of talent development and access to funding.
