During his keynote talk at the annual DICE Summit, Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney argued to keep politics out of gaming and away from developers so that marketers can sell games from a “neutral ground.” In a talk that covered everything from loot boxes to cross-platform play, Sweeney ended his keynote by addressing discourse in gaming, and specifically involving politics. Sweeney veered from the idea of games as a political medium and talked about the need for a “separation of church and state” model between politics and gaming.
