A separate post from him stated culture lies at the heart of civilization.

@EmmanuelMacronLa culture est au cœur de notre civilisation.
@LyraValeSound@EmmanuelMacron 2017: There is no French culture, there is a culture in France, and it is diverse
@clashreportMacron: Video games have become one of the great creative forms of our time, at the crossroads of images, writing, music, design and technology. I firmly believe that video games are part of our culture and should therefore be part of France’s cultural exception, just as we have done with cinema and other forms of creation. That is why we are going to create an international video game festival, conceived from the very beginning as a major global gathering for creativity, innovation, players and the industry.

@11122XOne good French based game and people start losing their minds.
@MarioNawfal🇫🇷 Macron says what gamers have known forever Video games ARE art. He's backing it up too, announcing an international video game festival for France, putting games on the same cultural pedestal as cinema. The country that gave us Cannes is now going after a gaming equivalent. Respect where it's due. Writer: Oliver
@NDrake123Rare W, but why do I feel he is trying to take advantage of something?? 🤔
@grantkirkhopewell I never ... is this real?
@Ikelos_devwasnt he saying not that long ago that videogames are a disease?
@RebellionJason@EmmanuelMacron I look forward to hearing more. I welcome anything that builds the awareness of computer games as an important creative industry and media form.
