Update: Activision and Vivendi Out of ESA!

Update: Activision and Vivendi Out of ESA!

None

In the wake of the “Out of E3” news, it has been confirmed that Activision and Vivendi have gone one great big step further and have dropped out of the Electronic Software Association (ESA) entirely. It seems as though problems run a lot deeper than just a closed E3.

This news comes straight from Rich Taylor, Senior Vice President of Communications and Research for the ESA.  Here’s what he had to say:

“While the Entertainment Software Association remains the preeminent voice for U.S. computer and video game publishers, we can confirm that Activision and Vivendi Games opted to discontinue their membership. The ESA remains dedicated to advancing our industry’s objectives such as protecting intellectual property, preserving First Amendment rights, and fostering a beneficial environment for the entire industry. Our high level of service and value to members and the larger industry remains unchanged.”

What kind of machinations, plots, and intrigues have caused this fall out?
