Following the recent claims by Trump, the Entertainment Software Association criticized said claims, saying "More than 165 million Americans enjoy video games, and billions of people play video games worldwide. Yet other societies, where video games are played as avidly, do not contend with the tragic levels of violence that occur in the U.S." They then said, "Video games contribute to society, from new medical therapies and advancements, educational tools, business innovation, and more."
