The COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on our society, cultural practice and on our economy affect game Swiss game creators. As a digital medium, our games have the power to connect our society and bring experiences and entertainment to a growing amount of players staying at home looking for personal interactions and meaningful moments in these challenging times. While Swiss games on the market see a rise in players that help overcome the crisis also from a business perspective, others see an existential threat to their endeavours as potential business opportunities get postponed or even cancelled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
