Also I've noticed that pretty much no one in politics would speak in support of video games. It's called the 'horseshoe theory', I think: the further right or left you go on the political spectrum, the more the left and right positions mirror each other (particularly when it comes to authoritarianism).

As for why no one in politics will support video games, my take on it is that the right appeals mainly to older conservatives who've probably never played a video game in their lives, while the left appeals to the political correctness-obesessed social justice types currently lecturing gamers about how sexist, racist, or misogynistic they supposedly are, because shaming is what these people do best. When the generations that grew up with video games get older and move into politics, that could very well change.
