United Nations responds to ESA’s criticism of ‘Cyber Violence Against Women and Girls’ report

The United Nations is criticizing gaming, and the Entertainment Software Association (a trade association for the gaming industry and its main lobbying group that puts on the yearly Electronic Entertainment Expo) isn’t pleased. The U.N. provided GamesBeat with a response to the ESA’s criticism, noting how it really wasn’t targeting gaming in the first place.

These kind of politics become more and more relevant in today’s gaming landscape. The fact that the U.N. is now involved shows you how serious it is. However, the ESA is calling the U.N. report — titled “Cyber Violence Against Women and Girls” — hyperbolic, outlandish, and outdated.
