Politics and Video Games: A Big F%@#-ing Deal

This event took place on Sunday, March 13, 2022 at 4:00 PM UTC.

American politics has a long history of engagement with film, TV and print publishing. However video games — now the world’s most popular and lucrative entertainment industry — have been comparatively ignored by our body politic. All that is changing: from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s much-discussed “Among Us” livestream to the Washington Post launching a dedicated video game vertical, American politics is finally getting into gaming. A panel of political journalists, video game industry veterans and civic crusaders will discuss politics and gaming’s long overdue collab and how it might evolve in the coming years. Venue: Fairmont, Manchester G Eliot Nelson, Juana Summers, Diana Williams
