President Donald Trump will meet with executives from the video game industry next week to talk about gun violence, the White House announced on Thursday.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at the press briefing that the meeting will be in the context of issues of violence and school safety, and the executives will offer their input “to see what they can do on that front.”

While Trump indicated support for a series of gun measures on Wednesday in a meeting with Capitol Hill lawmakers, last week he also talked about the problem with violence in video games and movies, and suggested that the current rating system was not adequate.

A spokesman for the Entertainment Software Association, which represents video game makers, had no immediate comment. It’s unclear if the White House will seek a similar meeting with studio reps and the MPAA.
I hope he gives Gaben an earful about Half-Life 3

Is he going to bring Tipper Gore out of obscurity to go along with this?

If he can steer the EA rep into fixing FIFA's broken career mode, i'll vote for him in 2020.

I probably ran over more hookers than I shot in GTA3. Never had the urge to do either in real life

Average gamer is in his early 30s. I hope he talks to Nintendo about goomba stomping violence though.

More 24D chess from Trump. He looks good in the public’s eyes, and if dems bitch about it, they look like bad guys.

Realistically, nothing the president says will influence the companies to stop making profitable games.

No way the game makers do anything at all but give lip service to Trump. They aren't changing the games without some kind of law forcing them to.

Not suggesting we need a new law. Just saying that less than jack shite will come of that meeting. Waste of time.
