ECA Boasts 500K Members In North America
The Entertainment Consumers Association has hit a milestone, with the announcement that the game-industry advocacy group has more than 500,000 members in North America. The organization, founded in October 2006, represents consumers of interactive entertainment through political lobbying and grass-roots campaigns.
“Perhaps the most important aspect of this announcement reflects the fact that gamers care, that the trade supports them and that non-endemic companies and brands want to support gaming,” said Hal Halpin, president of the ECA. “It makes more people want to join and more partners want to be associated, which translates into even more member benefits...a self-perpetuating cycle. Truly, I couldn't be any more proud of our members, partners, and staff.”
The ECA has been an outspoken advocate for net neutrality and supported of the games industry in the upcoming Schwarzenegger v. EMA Supreme Court case.
Dues-paying members pay an annual membership fee of $19.99, which also includes a variety of deals and discounts.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
