    Maybe they should move GDC somewhere less terrible for a couple years. Let Japan have it or something.

      I’m not gonna say gun violence isn’t a problem here but…this reminds me of rightwingers going on about violence in Chicago. The reality is that most of the gun violence is isolated to certain areas and Chicago is a big place…the US is even bigger.

      And it’s not like you’re being invited to visit a high school

    It’s ok not going to the USA, it is more of a problem when they rock up in your country and use a tomahawk on your kids school.

            I have been edging A LOT lately!

            But, no. Just someone who enjoys pointing out the hypocrisy of people on social media. I call it like I see it. Almost every president over the past 45 years has been a warhawk.

            I don’t choose sides.

                Not exactly the same. Obama talked nice and made friends with celebrities. That’s all you really care about.

                That’s why you are willing to brush off his detestable actions.

    Given how big the LGBTQ+ community is in the games industry, they really need to host this in Vancouver or Toronto until things settle down in the USA.

        probably due to the large multi-building venue that they have to host the conference and the experience the staff have hosting it there.

          As shocking as this may seem, other countries have conventions and experienced people to run them too.
