He probably realised that criricizing one of the main french cultural exports wasn’t going to win him any favors. Don’t wanna piss off Ubisoft.
Wouldn’t be surprised if someone makes a riot sim just to piss him off.
Riot: Civil Unrest
Fucking hell in the picture he had the same face my grandma had when we were trying to teach her how to record stuff on her vcr.
“And this, Mr President, is how you launch you browser”.
“Launch? Like, missiles?”
Nah. More like, “Mr President, here are the choices to make: ask the waifu out for a date or try to get an indirect kissu”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron is extending an olive branch to video gamers after previously linking computer games to rioting that rocked France earlier this year.
Posting on social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, Macron backpedaled on remarks in June where he blamed video games for having “intoxicated” some young rioters.
“I expressed my concerns at the end of June because delinquents had used video game habits to trivialize the violence on social networks,” he said.
The French-born 17-year-old of north African descent was stopped by two officers on motorbikes who subsequently alleged that he’d been driving dangerously.
From Nanterre, violent protests quickly spread and morphed into generalized nationwide mayhem in cities, towns and even villages that was celebrated on social networks.
In a government crisis meeting at the time, Macron accused social networks of playing “a considerable role” in the unrest and of fueling copycat violence and castigated video games.
