Needless to say, the ESA is not getting a Christmas card from me this year.

For those interested, I've blogged a little behind-the-scenes look at the making this video: http://www.ign.com/blogs/andreweisen/2012/01/19/esa-supports-sopa-behind-the-...

[Full Disclosure: I write for GamePolitics which is a publication of the ECA.]

Several industry folks are boycotting E3 (an ESA event). Check it out: http://www.screwattack.com/StandTogether

  • ESA disliked this video.

  • @IceTheRetroKid

    I suppose that's fair. After all, tens of thousands of gamers disliked the ESA.

  • It's like my prayers were answered... about the singing, that is.

    What's your stance about boycotting E3?

  • @BlackMageHadoken

    Well, ESA just dropped it's SOPA/PIPA support this afternoon so if you're referring to ScrewAttack, LoadingReadyRun, ExtraCreditz, and Red 5 Studios' boycott, I believe that's now over. ESA no longer supports the bills, so the boycott is likely off. I haven't seen an official word though.

    In any case, the ESA has a lot of work to do in order to start winning back our trust.

  • The knife is out, but the healing process will be slow. I'm just glad ESA dropped it's support.

    The video was awesome, BTW, for what it represented.

  • @BlackMageHadoken I'm still boycotting it even after SOPA died.

  • so no more videos from you :(

  • This video perfectly symbolizes ESA stabbing us in the back by supporting SOPA/PIPA. Bravo!
