> disgusting anti-democratic suggestion [...] denying them representation

I assume the idea isn't that developing a game means you don't get to vote as a citizen, but that the industry can't lobby for special access ("spent virtually all of their time with the gaming industry lobby groups").

What is that even supposed to mean in practice? Given the lack of a reasonable proposal, I think I'll take their words at face value.

I love how you complain about the poor companies while companies are the only ones being heard. maybe take less of a moral superiority stance?

What's democratic about a decision made by the wealthy few, disregarding a massive popular wave!?
