Working with North Korea?! Sounds like the ESA has adopted the old American foreign policy of dancing with dictators there.
Disaster how?! Do you mean the awful DRM copy protection on BioShock or the on-disc protection on Crysis that wrecks DVD-ROM drives? If that's what you mean then yeah, it's a disaster. It's also why more and more people are turning to Steam and other download sources.
I'll add my voice to the chorus that their silence on Mass Effect was inexcusiable. And no, we shouldn't have to be the ones to defend the games. Situations like that are the the reasons why the ESA was created in the first place: a recognized body that is ready to respond to criticisms levelled against it. They can't just pick and choose what games to defend, nor should they not defend a game because it's inconvenient for them.
When Gallagher was appointed head of the ESA and it was revealed that he had been part of the Bush administration, I predicted bad times. I wanted to be wrong and for a while he actually did seem like a decent guy. But now he's showing his true colors and it looks like my intial impressions were borne out after all. I hate to be the one to say I told you so.
