"Richard Larcombe, Director of Advertising and Sponsorship at Virgin Media, said the company is "excited" to be able to provide a space where anyone can come and play games all day long, but also where visitors can learn or be inspired by experienced developers from across the industry. "The digital world is creating incredible job opportunities as well as entertainment for people and the rise of the British gaming industry is something to be proud of," he commented. "This is going to be a unique place for people to use who've got the same passion for gaming we have. Whether it's to debate, develop, or push the boundaries of new technologies, Virgin Media Games Space will provide something for everyone no matter their gaming abilities." David Hayward, Curator and Event Producer at the centre, said it is "immensely exciting" that London is getting its first game space this month. "Games are such a diverse thing now, and I think the Virgin Media Games Space will be an excellent way of supporting that," he commented."
