President Trump shown violent video game reel while meeting members of the industry

[Administrator]

The Trump administration said the President would meet members of the video game industry to talk about virtual violence shaping young people's minds, and yesterday he did.
Those present were shown an 88-second video of extreme violence taken from a selection of games. The infamous No Russian civilian airport massacre from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was in there; Dead by Daylight was in there; Sniper Elite 4 was in there; The Evil Within was in there; Fallout 4 was in there, and there was a couple of others I didn't recognise. All were clips pulled from various YouTuber channels, presented out of context one after another. The video was uploaded unlisted to The White House YouTube channel.
President Trump apparently commented on how violent the scenes he was seeing were, while the rest of the room was silent, one attendee told Kotaku (the meeting itself was closed to press). No specific games were apparently mentioned during the hour-long meeting.
