The Terminator Removed From Supreme Court Case
The whole industry is still eagerly awaiting a ruling on the ESA’s case before the United State Supreme Court regarding a 2005 California video game law. However, as time has marched on, California acquired a new Governor, and this has lead to a change in how the case will be referenced.
When the 2005 law was passed, Arnold Schwarzenegger was Governor of California, so the case was referenced as Schwarzenegger v. the EMA. However now California’s Governor is Jerry Brown, and as protocol dictates, the Court has changed the case’s name to Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association/Entertainment Software Association (alternatively, Brown v. EMA/ESA).
We’re still waiting on a ruling from the Courts, but we can now take some heart in the fact that we don’t have to beat the Governator to win this thing.
