800 GAME CREATORS ENDORSE KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ

Today, more than 800 creators of the world’s most popular games and puzzles endorsed Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president. These designers, artists, writers, publishers, and reviewers are among the world’s foremost experts in game strategy. They endorse the Democratic ticket under the slogan “Harris/Walz: It’s the Correct Play.”

“Kamala Harris is a winner,” the game creators write on the site. “She has presided over the best economy in the world. She’s an ardent defender of reproductive rights. She has battled crime, fought for the downtrodden, and supported American workers. She stands with our allies and stands up to our enemies abroad. She knows how things are done and she gets them done.”

The creators continue: “She’s one of the two things we gamers like the most: She’s competitive. On Sunday, July 21, Harris was doing a puzzle with her family over waffles. On Monday, July 22, she had unified the entire party, clinched the nomination, and built a solid campaign. She’s an inspiring, groundbreaking candidate. If we show out for her, she’ll be the first female president of the United States.”

“Her first decision was to choose Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate,” the creators write. “Walz is the other thing we gamers like the most: He’s cooperative. He’s the guy you want in your party. As governor, Walz has presided over an expansion of the safety net, lifted up his constituents, and done it with charm and grace. Plus, he loves his Sega Dreamcast. Our kind of guy.”

The creators have some words for the Republican ticket: “The other guys? Trump and Vance are what we despise: cheaters. They run on fear, rage, and denial of rights. Everything out of their mouths is horrible: ‘They’re eating the dogs.’ ‘Childless cat ladies.’ ‘Suspend the Constitution.’ It’s the worst. And their policies are even worse. Project 2025 spells out a fascist agenda that will destroy the government and the rights of Americans. Trump is an insurrectionist grifter who’s been found liable for sexual assault, convicted of fraud, fined hundreds of millions of dollars, and is facing years in jail. Not our kind of guy at all.”

The creators conclude: “We make games because we like competition and cooperation. We’ve been given two candidates who express those qualities beautifully. If you like our games, do us and yourselves a solid. Join #Gamers4Harris this November and vote, volunteer, and donate money for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

The message is followed by a list of more than 800 game creators.
