Claudia Roth and YouTuber HandofBlood met at Gamescom 2022.
And he had a nice surprise in store for the politician.
Cologne – There will be a lot of gaming fans at Gamescom 2022 again this year.
However, this was not possible last year due to the corona pandemic, which is why the visitors are now all the more pleased to be there again.
Famous YouTubers like HandofBlood also make it to the trade fair in Cologne.
And he made a rather unusual acquaintance there.
Because the streamer met the top politician Claudia Roth and of course does not let her go without a small gift.

Gamescom 2022: HandofBlood dubs Claudia Roth on autograph card
That happened:
Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth paid a visit to Gamescom 2022.
There she looked for games on the topic of remembrance culture and diversity.
Because for the minister it is clear:
“Games are so much more than the cliché of shooting games.
They create new approaches to many topics and are an important part of the media world"
.
But not only the games seemed to inspire the politician, but also one of the YouTube stars present was able to convince the politician.
On a picture of the fair you can see HandofBlood and Claudia Roth standing happily side by side and it seems that the two also gave each other a small gift.
Because, beaming with joy, the two autograph cards are held up to the camera.
HandofBlood also calls the minister on first name terms and signs his card “For Claudi”.
If there is a let's play together:
It remains questionable whether Claudia Roth will be seen in one of the HandofBlood videos in the future.
But the YouTuber's fans would certainly have nothing against a joint gaming session between the two in Elden Ring.
At the fair, the two definitely seemed to be having fun and according to first impressions of Gamescom 2022, they are probably not alone.

Gamescom 2022: Claudia Roth is not the only politician with an interest in gaming
Politicians at the trade fair:
Politicians have already recognized that games are becoming an increasingly important medium in Germany.
Politicians have therefore repeatedly visited the fair in recent years to find out about the latest gaming topics.
In 2019, for example, it was the CSU politician Andreas Scheuer who tested a game on the computer.
This year even the vice chancellor was supposed to open the fair in person, but unfortunately Robert Habeck had to cancel his speech at short notice.
