Gaming beat the Supreme Court — now it’s time to defend AR and VR

The gaming industry has successfully fought off critics and their moral panics for decades, and now it’s time to look ahead to the next battle.

Two of the people who helped games find First Amendment protection revisited that battle today while also discussing how those lessons could stave off similar legal challenges to the emerging augmented and virtual reality industries. Ted Price, chief executive of Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank studio Insomniac Games, and Mike Gallagher, chief executive of game-business lobbying group the Entertainment Software Association, took the GamesBeat Summit stage at Berkeley, California today to discuss what it means to take on a leadership role on an industry level.
