Title: Major Gaming Communities Boycotting E3
Post by: pokeplayer984 on January 18, 2012, 09:47:16 AM

A number of the major gaming communities are boycotting this year's E3.  Why?  Check the video below.

Guess my plans have changed for today.  I'm going to be busy with something else.

See ya later! :)

It was from one of those I follow on YouTube.

Since they didn't provide a link, I used keepvid to download it. :)

That's a pretty good idea, I'll upload that video on my youtube channel as well.

Also to add on to this, there's another video I found which might be quite useful to spread around, about the origins of SOPA:

An update: Seems ESA has listened and pulled their support for SOPA.
