Some would say that these talks are unnecessary, but honestly, the people running the country need these talks.
Here's Jeff's opinion from the IGN article:
I think that asking video game industry heads to come to a conference about gun violence shows just how out of touch politicians and other leaders really are when it comes to the video game business.
But if the industry doesn't step up to the table and explain that, then no one's going to ever think otherwise. The game industry was right to attend the meeting and it sounds like the discussion was more about getting to know each other. No harm done.
The game industry needs to continue speaking whenever it can, if only to continue educating these people so that we eventually get out of this mentality of "video games = 2 Live Crew = Elvis on Ed Sullivan.
