More on Entertainment Software Association
Description from Wikipedia:
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is the trade association of the video game industry in the United States. It was formed in April 1994 as the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA) and renamed on July 16 2003. It is based in Washington, D.C.
Most of the top publishers in the gaming world (or their American subsidiaries) are members of ESA, including Atari, Capcom, Disney Interactive Studios, Eidos Interactive, Electronic Arts, Konami, Microsoft, Midway Games, Namco Bandai, Nintendo, SEGA, Sony Computer Entertainment, Square Enix, Take Two Interactive, THQ, Ubisoft and WildTangent.
ESA's programs include:
*Presenting the annual E3 (E3 Media and Business Summit, originally the Electronic Entertainment Expo)
*Supporting the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)
*Combatting copyright infringement of software
*Combatting governmentally imposed video game censorship and regulation
Doug Lowenstein founded the ESA. On December 14 2006, game blog Kotaku reported that he was resigning to take a job in finance outside the industry. On May 17 2007, Mike Gallagher replaced Doug Lowenstein as the president of ESA.
On August 18 2007, it was discovered that someone from an IP address belonging to the ESA modified the modchip and abandonware articles on Wikipedia by changing article content to represent legal opinions held by the ESA.
