Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says 'gun violence is uniquely American ... and that will only change if we address the real issues.'
CEO Strauss Zelnick said Monday it's wrong to blame gun violence in the United States on entertainment, pushing back against President Donald Trump's suggestion that "gruesome and grisly video games" played a factor in recent mass shootings in the country.
