Back to the Future – Welcome VGL Cohort 2025

Welcome to Video Game Law. We talked today about some of the things that have happened in this course over the last twenty years. Turns out I underestimated the number of webpages on this site – it’s 107. What  hits me (rather hard it turns out) are memories of the many extraordinary students that have contributed so much to the course and it’s evolution. It’s beyond wonderful that so much of what they accomplished is captured, one way or another on the course website, at least since 2013. Today, I saw them in you – which, trust me, is the highest of compliments. Looking forward to all you add through your explorations.
