Macron Announces International Video Game Festival

Emmanuel Macron posted that because video games are part of French culture, the country will create an international video game festival. A separate post from him stated culture lies at the heart of civilization. Visible replies questioned the announcement by referencing earlier remarks from Macron that called video games a disease or blamed them for violence at demonstrations. Other replies noted France already holds annual events for the medium or welcomed any step that treats games as an important creative industry.
