    Sure - but what do the attendees of a gaming conference have to do with new oil wells being approved?

      I suspect it’s for the publicity. Events like this attract different demographics than the usual targets, so it’s more exposure. It might not make the tabloids but it does get reported on.

      Historically, any publicity has been seen as good publicity. But, given the reputation they are building, I think this is not how it is playing out.

      So I agree, it just makes people with little to no power feel blamed. Time for a change of approach.
