Today the ESA announced that Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, will be giving the keynote speech at this year’s E3 expo. Some of you might be asking “why him?” Well Governor Perry has done a lot for the gaming industry. Perry sees gaming as an opportunity to help the Texas economy grow, and has goes so far as to support the industry by providing financial incentives to game development companies.
To be honest I am not too familiar with Governor Perry’s stances on other issues; I live in Ohio. From what I have herd, though, he sounds like he has the right idea about videogames and the role they will play in the future of entertainment.
