PEGI pioneer leaves trade body.
Michael Rawlinson has announced his resignation as director general of UK games trade body UKIE, and will step down at the end of the month.
No reason was given for his decision to move on, with a statement from chairman Andy Payne stating only that he wanted to pursue “fresh challenges”.
A vocal advocate for the UK games industry, Rawlinson was one of the key figures behind the creation of PEGI, the first pan-European age rating classification system, back in 2003.
