The approval of Brazil’s Legal Framework for Video Games was a key moment in the country’s gaming industry. In Videogame Crash, journalist Pedro Zambarda investigates the behind-the-scenes of this law—based on exclusive reports and deep research—covering everything from early debates to its final approval by the president.


Along the way, Zambarda reveals political fights, economic pressure, censorship attempts, and the real effects of the new rules on the industry. Between 2023 and 2024, more than 20,000 workers lost their jobs during a major crisis.


More than a look at laws and technology, this book shows the conflict between innovation, business interests, and public policy. It’s a must-read for professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in the future of Brazil’s cultural and digital industries.
