Video Game Industry Groups Criticize Trump's Travel Ban

Forbes - Tech

President Donald Trump's executive order related to travel from seven majority-Muslim countries has sparked confusion and outrage. Protesters and business leaders alike have expressed concern over how the order would affect the country going forward, and the video game industry has plenty of criticism, too. Yesterday, the Entertainment Software Association, which represents the video game industry in Washington, issued a press release cautiously criticizing the order, recognizing a need for security but underscoring the importance of immigrant workers in the gaming industry. The ESA represents most of the biggest names in the games industry, including Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA and Activision Blizzard. The Entertainment Software Association urges the White House to exercise caution with regard to vital immigration and foreign worker programs.
