Polish Prime Minister Donald presented US President Barack Obama as a copy of The Vichar 2, 14 years after the Task Official diplomatic giftFrench President Emmanuel Macron is getting on “recognition of the cultural value of the videogame”. No, he has not added Donald Trump to his Steam Friends List, but he took a moment from his definite day to shout the French Development Studio Sandfall Interactive for his big success with Claire Obeskur: Expedition 33.
“One million copies and to date, one of the best rated games in history: and yes, it’s French!” Macron wrote Instagram (Translated Google). “Congratulations to all creators of Sandfall Interactive and Expedition 33.
Clair OBSCUR: Expedition 33 is actually a hit, both serious and commercially: Concurrent player matters About 100,000 hovering on steam alone in the week since release, and that 92% total score Metacritic A number of developers can only dream. Three days after the launch, a million copies in the game were left behind.
But, like the diplomatic gift of the tusks, the real importance of Macron’s statement – and whether he wrote it himself or was removed by an anonymous intern, is irrelevant, it is on his verified account – it is believed that videogames CaseThe “Games for Kids” is Clich, but it is a disappointingly a disappointing viewing, as their alleged threats to the same young mob: it was truly less than three weeks ago that American house speaker Mike Johnson used videogame crisis to cut the Medicad, a health insurance program for low -income people. The current US President Donald Trump also convicted videogame for fueling a violent real world culture in his first term-more than one time.

Macron wrote in a long message, “They are an area of artistic experiment, an attractive learning place, mixed all arts.” X“Play means listening to music, immersing yourself in stories, feeling emotions, and traveling through time. It means searching for visual universe that writes a new chapter in the history of art. Competitive video gaming is a game, a ecosystem, which is a ecosystem, which is with true professionals, high-level meetings and international tournaments which marks the history, powerful. We do.
“Videogame is an integral part of France. The killer’s creed and Dofas are the compositions of French talent. We are proud of them.”
