    Depends. How much are the lobbyists paying? Its possible the auto industry simply refused to pay whereas gaming companies might pay more.

    Also, these people care way less about anything related to video games than they care about banning cars. “Cars are loud, get in the way of their bicycle, and sometimes stink; but video games? What is that?”

      Yes, video game execs showed up with bags full of cash but the auto industry was like “we’re too principled to give them a bribe. We would rather die!”. I’m sure specially WV execs were against it. They are way to honorable to cheat.

      Sorry but you sound like all your knowledge about politics comes from The West Wing or some other stupid show.
