Gaming industry reps will meet with President Trump after all

President Donald Trump is meeting with the gaming industry on Thursday as part of the White House’s ongoing efforts to find a reason for gun violence, and hey … “games” starts with the letter “g” so I guess they’re getting closer.

The Entertainment Software Association, the primary lobbying group for game publishers, confirmed today that the meeting is happening. This comes after White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced Trump’s plan to speak with the industry this past Thursday. At that time, however, the ESA told GamesBeat that no one at the White House had sent an invitation to the event to anyone in the gaming indusry. But now Trump has formally set a date and time, and he even remembered to tell everyone — and the ESA and its member companies have RSVPed.
