LethalBlade Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) EA is a member of the ESA (Entertainment Software Association), which is in full support of SOPA/PIPA. So, by default, they support it too. Edited January 19, 2012 by LethalBlade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWhiting Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You sure? some people on the internet. Tell me different. Just because da interwebs sez so doesn't mean it's really true.

Limecake Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You sure? some people on the internet. Tell me different. then they are confusing the ESA with EA. which are two completely different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouspensky Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Who cares. SOPA is nothing but political posturing put forth by republicans to put Obama in a tough position and potentially look bad. Luckily a few days ago the White House said they will not support SOPA. It'll never become law. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siegedeluxe Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 DO NOT BE FOOLED "Escapist Magazine reported Monday that the ESA spent up to $90,000 lobbying the US government on behalf of the Protect IP Act [PIPA] over a six month period in 2011. Both PIPA and SOPA have faced heavy criticism from concerned internet users who claim the legislation could be used to quell free speech and innovation." EA IS A PROUD MEMBER OF ESA. THEY SUPPORT THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexvx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 EA is neutral: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/17/ea-explains-lack-of-sopa-stance/ However, they belong to the ESA (Entertainment Software Association), which do support SOPA. ESA includes pretty much every big game developer: Microsoft, Epic, Eidos, Capcom, Atari, Nintendo, Sony, THQ, Ubisoft, Konami, Take-Two, Square, Enix, Nvidia, Konami, Namco Bandai, Sega, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Capcom, Konami, Bandai, THQ, and Sqaure Enix are all members of the ESA. Guess they support SOPA too. Time for you trolls to get over it. I guess Wikipedia and Google and Reddit were just trolling then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
