Supported intervening in Iraq, killing people. Decries video games for having the ability to kill people.
Joe Biden is a gaffe machine and it worries me because Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants and the right just accepts it. Biden...I feel like he's eventually going to have too big a blunder down the campaign trail.
gaming ceos who want to be absolved of responsibility for hate speech/etc on their platforms are little creeps.

I have no real love for Biden, but that headline is kinda disingenuous. He did say those things, but he wasn't calling 'game developers' those things, he was specifically talking about one executive he was meeting with. While the intent of his message is mostly still the same old 'games are violent' rhetoric, depending on who he was meeting with 'little creep' may have been right on the money.
Can't be any worse than what we just suffered through the last 4 years
/shrug
He called a specific game developer exec in a specific meeting who he thought was pompous a little creep.
Not a Biden fan but the discussion about what he said has been so misleading. Pick a given AAA exec and I think few of us would disagree with calling them a little creep

Yup, the misuse of this makes me cringe but in this case? 100% perfect example of when it should be used.
Not a big deal IMO as most older people think this - even my mom. We've heard this over and over and it makes no difference.
Thread should be closed honestly. All it's going to do is bring out political hacks.

ok biden; you can hate on violence, but I can hate that you have literally zero concept of personal boundaries.
I really shouldn't laugh but the looks on everyone's faces kills me... LOL... Sorry they had to go through that.
Coming from a man who was part of an administration that bombed innocents, that just takes the cake.

IF Biden wins it'd be like having Grandpa Simpson as president.
Why are people taking issue with the thread title when that is seemingly what he said? I don't get it.
He is paraphrasing what the dev said; I highly doubt a dev actually said "I make games that teach people how to kill", that is Biden's interpretation and he is doing it intentionally to paint this "Silicon Valley creep" that way. It's on him folks.
