Great, measuring the raw quantity of dollars comes up with an equation stating that game bigwigs give money to the politicians who spend slightly less time trying to make sure that nobody ever buys their games. What a phenomenal surprise.

Interesting that Will Wright of all people is a republican, considering how republicans hate his game (at least the nuts) ^^

Human Bomb:
Take-two really shocks me though. Democrats had a pretty united hatred of GTA.

ah, but they're probably not voting based on game policies.

WILL WRIGHT?!

I think the idea behind all those video game people donating to the Democrats is to remind them "hey, we got you elected, now return the favor" the next time the Nancy Graces of the world are making the soccer moms hysterical about gaming. Just wetting the beak, that's all.

I could have told you gamers lean liberal look at the people on the escapist :)

That Will Wright thing is shocking, he doesn't come across to me as particularly conservative. Then again, a lot of conservatives now adays aren't the bible-thumpers of the fities. I'd imagine he's probably anostic or atheistic considering Spore.

Artists lean LIBERAL?

STOP DA PRESSES

Will Wright being a conservative just blows me away.

I've actually found that alot of Repubs. are actually atheistic. However, many of them, like myself, become libertarians.

I am not the only one who finds it hilarious that the heads of major corporations donate to the people who ostensibly protect the poor from big business interests am I?

Logan Frederick:
Activision Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick were the only high-profile Republican supporters.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Great this doesn't help the republicans are evil asshats image at all

Yeay another libertarian is around, now I'm not alone!

Whats really funny is most CEOs and heads of multi-million companys are liberal, but people like to call them evil republicans anyway.

OT: This doesn't surprise me at all, most people working in the entertainment industry are, not to mention most political plots go with the stereotypical "military is bad" plot.

This is likely more to do with demographics and poverty in the bible belt than anything else. Working class children just don't tend to become software engineers, and I'd tend to suggest that the North of the US if more affluent than the South.

Bobby Kotick is a conservative. That's the least surprising news I've ever heard. Of course, the fact that most gamer-type people are liberal was pretty obvious, too.

Hah. Still putting people into two camps are we?
Despite all of that "grey area thinking", we're still all talking black and white.

Both parties are run by inept power mongering assholes. I have an entire state of them as proof.
