remote control productions (rcp) joins the European Federation of Video Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects (EFGAMP). The step will strengthen the joint efforts of the GLAM and the creative sectors to support and protect video game culture.
Established in 2005, remote control productions (rcp) is an independent Munich production house for interactive entertainment, providing services for companies in the video game industry and adjacent spaces. Covering everything from HR, finance and legal support, rcp enables studios to get on with what they do best: creating great games sustainably. rcp is also the ‘mothership’ for a family of more than 15 established gaming companies in countries all over the world. These group members operate across the interactive entertainment industry – developing their own projects with the support of rcp. This group of studios is a diverse team of over 500 individuals working in studios across Europe, Asia, and South America.
rcp is joining EFGAMP as a way to further its commitment to the international gaming community and culture, as per CEO Hendrik Lesser:
“In challenging times, standing together is more important than ever. We are thrilled to join forces with EFGAMP to preserve and promote awareness for the European games industry and its cultural heritage. rcp has been a steadfast partner in these efforts over the years by itself and also through our many studio heads contributing to national and international gaming associations. As we approach rcp’s 20th anniversary, we are now elevating these to an international level and are proud to deepen our political engagement to further support and safeguard video game culture.”
“The accession of rcp strengthens the cultural heritage sector’s relationship with creatives and producers,” says Andreas Lange, Managing Director of EFGAMP. “The fact that rcp, a network of development studios, is joining the association shows once again that creators and developers have a strong interest in ensuring that their works are well preserved and sustainably preserved and kept accessible for future generations – a challenge that both parties can best tackle together.”
