April 18, 200917 yr From the official Jagex website: [hide=]Free MMO Developer Jagex Joins Tiga UK, Cambridge, 15th April, 2009 Jagex Ltd, the UKs largest independent games developer, was unveiled today as the newest member of Tiga, the UKs game developer trade body. The Cambridge based games studio, which is best known for the free-to-play MMO RuneScape.com and most recently Funorb.com, has joined Tiga to support Tigas valuable work promoting the games industry in the UK. As one of Britains largest games developers we are delighted to support Tiga, said Mark Gerhard, Jagex CEO. We passionately believe that the UK is one of the leading development communities in the world and by joining Tiga we hope to assist them in raising the profile of UK game developers and crucially to ensure that the UK remains a great place to make games. I urge all game developers to join Tiga to help make the UK the best place in the world to do games business. Richard Wilson, Tiga's CEO, added: "Jagex is one of the most successful game developers in the world, not just the UK. Jagex has developed extraordinarily popular games and is at the leading edge in terms of online safety and security. Jagexs decision to join our trade association is a massive endorsement of Tigas new strategy: to campaign for developers in political circles, to maximise the industrys media profile and to develop services that reduce Tiga members costs and strengthen their commercial opportunities. I look forward to working with Jagex in the cause of serving the UK games development sector. Notes to editors: 1. Tiga is the national trade association that represents games developers in the UK and in Europe. We have 150 members, the majority of whom are either independent games developers or in-house publisher-owned developers. We also have outsourcing companies, technology businesses and universities amongst our membership. 2. Tiga's vision is to make the UK the best place in the world to do games business. We focus on three sets of activities: political representation, generating media coverage and developing services that enhance the competitiveness of our members. This means that Tiga members are effectively represented in the corridors of power, their voice is heard in the media and they receive benefits that make a material difference to their businesses, including a reduction in costs and improved commercial opportunities. 3.

April 18, 200917 yr Tiga seems extremely complimentary towards JaGex, cant say I've heard of Tiga before though, Doubt it'll effect JaGex to much, sounds like Tigas just happy their on board so other companies might join. Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.
April 19, 200917 yr Doesn't really seem like its hugely important, I've never heard of Tiga. Might be because I don't live in UK but still. Doomy edit: I like sheep
April 19, 200917 yr Doesn't really seem like its hugely important, I've never heard of Tiga. Might be because I don't live in UK but still. I've lived in the UK all my life and have never heard of Tiga. It sounds like a good move on both Tiga's and Jagex's part, though, judging from what they do. ~ W ~
