Hal Halpin, the president of the Entertainment Consumers Association recently spoke with The Stamford Advocate about partnerships, memberships, and what the ECA plans to ultimately do for the gaming community.
"There's been an amazingly positive reception for the ECA from the industry ... which has helped to support and strengthen our cause," said Halpin, its president. "The games industry companies for years has been saying they are committed to gamers, and with the help of the ECA, I believe that goal can be achieved as we strive to enable and empower the consumers and their voices."
So the ECA will pretty much be a lobbying organization for gamers, protecting our interests in the legal and political realm. I'll go out on a limb here and say it's the first such organization to offer you a chance at winning a PlayStation 3 for joining up, along with various industry related discounts, special offers, and freebies to offset the $19.99 membership fee. As if gamers needed to be bribed to get off their butts and be politically active or something.
