Take-Two boss says linking videogames to gun violence is 'disrespectful' to victims
Strauss Zelnick said that if games caused violence, he wouldn't sell them.
“Entertainment is part of people’s daily joy and it’s consumed worldwide and it’s the same worldwide. Gun violence is uniquely American and that has to change, and that will only change if we address the real issues.”
If there was evidence to suggest games like Take-Two’s crown jewel, Grand Theft Auto, were causing real world gun violence, Zelnick said he wouldn’t be in the business. “In the same way that I wouldn’t choose to market substances that cause people to get sick,” he said.
