“…In Denmark, for example, the average time span of companies in the sector is 5 years. Freelancers represent 40% of the videogame developers in Italy, 51% in Denmark and 35% of the videogame companies in the Netherlands are one-person companies (Games Monitor, 2018), although their share in total employment in the sector is much smaller, with 70% of jobs located in companies larger than 10 employees (Koops, 2016). Videogame developers are also very young: in Italy, 79% of the workers are younger than 36 years old, and two-thirds of them are between 26 and 40 years of age; in the Netherlands, the average age of the workers is around 22–25 years old.…”

This article presents a comparison of interest representation in the videogame industry in Denmark, Italy and the Netherlands. While traditional industrial relations actors play a minor role, interest representation is far from absent in this creative industry. Interest representation is, however, dominated by other actors that often cut across the employer–employee divide. This article argues that the specific features of interest representation in the videogame industry can be explained by the characteristics of employment in the sector. The presence of fluid labour markets, the strong importance of intrinsic motivation in workers’ attitudes to work, and the presence of groups of workers willing to pursue individual strategies, contribute to distance the industry from the collective identities of traditional industrial relations actors and to strengthen the appeal to occupational identities developed by professional organizations, trade associations and informal communities.
