Biden, who is currently campaigning to become the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential election, shared his opinions in an interview with the New York Times. When asked about Silicon Valleys expansion of power during his time in the Obama administration, Biden said: And you may recall, the criticism I got for meeting with the leaders in Silicon Valley, when I was trying to work out an agreement dealing with them protecting intellectual property for artists in the United States of America. And at one point, one of the little creeps sitting around that table, who was a multi- close to a billionaire who told me he was an artist because he was able to come up with games to teach you how to kill people.
As for which game executive Biden was referring to as a creep, Kotaku has some theories about who the person might be, including EAs then-CEO John Riccitiello.
And then one of these righteous people said to me that, you know, 'We are the economic engine of America. We are the ones.' And fortunately I had done a little homework before I went and I said, you know, I find it fascinating, Biden continued. As I added up the seven outfits, everyones there but Microsoft. I said, you have fewer people on your payroll than all the losses that General Motors just faced in the last quarter, of employees. So dont lecture me about how youve created all this employment.. The point is, theres an arrogance about it, an overwhelming arrogance that we are, we are the ones. We can do what we want to do. I disagree.

I'm pretty positive the person he met with was an exec and not a developer or artist.

Biden keeps saying & doing things that suggest he wants to lose. What a shame. Looking more likely that we get 4 more years of Trump.

Again, I have to ask, who does Joe Biden think is voting for him? He's running the campaign of a Republican from 1990.

Aside from the "games that teach people how to kill" line, I'm 100% behind anyone calling the EA CEO a little creep and smack talking their hiring/firing way of developing games.

Biden would have little chance of being the nominee if most Democratic leaning Gen Z (the eligible subportion of course sillies) and millennials vote but since the ones I meet make a hundred and one excuses on why they can't or "politics don't matter lol" enjoy Biden as the nominee.
