The Entertainments Software Association (ESA) smartly called on The Escapist’s Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw to put together a public service announcement for the ESA’s Video Game Voters Network.
In the video, Yahtzee encourages gamers to fight the “anti-fun brigade” by joining the VGVN.

RedMage: The cover art thing points to an industry trend of only wanting to appeal to teen boys despite the talk of "broadening the appealz"06/19/2013 - 6:17pm

MaskedPixelante: So Andrew... is there going to be a new poll now? I mean, the one about the XBO DRM is kinda no longer relevant.06/19/2013 - 4:13pm

Re: Yahtzee Takes on Gamer’s First Amendment Rights
If it had a forum or something for people to organize it might at least seem legit. I guess they don't want people asking questions.
