• Sign the ECA's Petition to 'Protect Video Games Under the First Amendment' - On November 2, the State of California is taking the fight against the video game industry to the U.S. Supreme Court, despite being struck down at district court. With only a few short weeks separating that fateful day from now, the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is reminding U.S. citizens to sign its petition, arguing that video games be protected under the First Amendment. If passed, the law would allow the state to limit access to video games to minors based on its included content. The fear, according to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), is that video game stores will stop selling certain titles all together as 'they won't know what titles fall under a particular state's laws and which don't.' This could have an adverse affect on game development, as designers would have to first consider what may or may not be considered questionable before they dream up the next big 'Game of the Year.'
