Video Games: The Supreme Court and What’s Next

#sxsw #BrownvEMA

The video game industry faces a transformative moment in its history. A recent landmark victory before the Supreme Court in the case of Brown v. EMA/ESA affirmed that free speech protections apply every bit as much to video games as they do to other forms of creative expression, and underscored the constitutional protections afforded to video games, developers and industry artists. Video games have also become a mass medium with widespread appeal for people of all ages, and increasingly influence areas of daily life such as education, health and the workplace. In this session, Entertainment Software Association President and CEO Michael Gallagher will discuss what the Supreme Court decision means for video games and artistic expression, and what is next for this innovative and ever-evolving industry.
