Fuck you, you neoliberal ghoul. I lost my fucking job, and probably my career in the industry at this point, in no small parts because you squandered the potential of the French games industry.

Videogames are just PR for him. I think he knows most french gamers have the political education of a mussel and plays around that. He's been flip flopping between "videogames bad" to please old people (who are by far the ones with the biggest turnout at every election) and some low effort praises when something good happens.

I wish the Clair obscur people refused the stupid award he gave them a while back. That really tainted my image of them.
