Comment on France Gave Teenagers $350 for Culture. They’re Buying Comic Books

Comments

Comic books (and manga/graphic novels/etc.) sound like a good plan, especially during a pandemic where much of live performance either has shut down or remains risky.

Getting more kids into physical book and record stores seems like a nice effect as well. Not everything needs to be purchased from Amazon or streamed on Spotify.

I'd also expect to see more live events as the pandemic (hopefully) wanes.

And while the Culture Pass can be spent on video games, the game’s publisher must be French, and the game must not feature violence — conditions so restrictive that most popular titles are unavailable.

Ah, I was wondering why games weren't higher on the list.
