Trump Muslim Travel Ban: Video Game Industry Groups Unite Against Immigration Executive Order

International Business Times

President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration and green card holders from several majority-Muslim countries earned widespread response this weekend with protests and legal action. Among game industry companies and developers, their response was similarly vocal. In a statement, industry trade group the Entertainment Software Association strongly came out against the order. "The Entertainment Software Association urges the White House to exercise caution with regard to vital immigration and foreign worker programs. As a leading force in technology and exporter of entertainment, the U.S. video game industry thrives on the contributions of innovators and storytellers from around the world," the Software Association's statement said.
