Ah! So the French in Europe - they know how to lobby. It doesn't happen by accident or because games are huge, but because the French studios make sure their gov't knows what they are up to.

Somehow even the automotive and oil/gas industries are able to put their individual needs aside to work together to lobby the government with a consistent message and a broad perspective. Games folks... not so much.

It's because the games industry doesn't take lobbying seriously. So many studios and others in the ecosystem approach lobbying and gov't consultation as a means to benefit their specific studio instead of the greater industry. Which makes it difficult to coordinate proper lobbying.
