Jim Sterling for Destructoid:

Last year, when free speech in the videogame industry was threatened, you asked for help from gamers…Now, when free speech at large is threatened, you not only refuse to fight the threat, you actually join forces with it.

Sterling is talking about the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a very controversial piece of legislation that critics fear will lead to wholesale censorship of Web sites. Sterling contrasts this with the ESA’s grassroots push to drum up public support when it went up against the state of California in 2011 in a Supreme Court case (the EMA ultimately won).
