A report from government agencies Creative Scotland and Scottish Enterprise, which reported that the Scottish games industry contributed little to the economy, has been widely criticised for inaccuracies.

The report also found that the industry only employed 200 people, this figure clashes with the UK Interactive Entertainment (UKIE) Association, which stated that the games industry employed 500 professionals and generated at least £40 million, with more than £1billion generated over the last five years.

Labour MP Jenny Marra, said ““It should be ripped up and started again. It grossly underestimates the value of our games sector”.

The UKIE said: “In light of the anomalous report, UKIE has also called for better gathering and analysis of statistics for the entire UK’s games and interactive entertainment industry.”
