2020 US presidential candidate Joe Biden called computer game developers “little bastards.” He
Biden met with developers from Kremnievavalleys back in 2013, but that visit, apparently, made an indelible impression on him. During the meeting, the politician discussed with the heads of technology companies intellectual property rights. According to Biden, one of the participants in the meeting, a game developer, a “petty bastard,” suddenly declared that “he is an artist because he was able to come up with games that taught you how to kill people.”
As it turned out, Biden generally has a bad attitude towardstechnology industry. He denied the words of its representatives that they are the engine of the American economy. According to the politician, even General Motors is creating more jobs.
It is worth noting that Biden is not the first time to criticize the games. In 2013, he proposed taxing violent video games.
