French President Emmanuel Macron has emphasized the importance of video games as a key form of creativity in the modern era. He remarked that video games merge various art forms—visual arts, literature, music, design, and technology—highlighting their cultural significance.
Macron expressed his belief that video games should be included in France’s cultural exception policy, similar to cinema and other creative fields. To promote this idea, he announced plans for an international video game festival in France, aimed at showcasing creativity and innovation, while bringing together gamers and industry representatives.
This initiative underscores the evolving role of video games in contemporary culture and aims to elevate their recognition and support within the creative industry.
