In an interview with the
Financial
Times, Woodward said that such an academy would not just target 'geeks' but
would reach out to those alienated by academic environments.
He added that the games industry had come through its 'rebel period' and come
to accept that it was now a huge industry in its own right. "
"You see television and film schools but we don't have a video-games school.
Why not? And yet we're the third largest games manufacturer in the world."
Woodward said the best way for the industry to attract the necessary talent
and skills it needs to move forward is to approach the Government and offer to
put forward the funding for an academy.
