The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is asking gamers of all stripes to write into Pres. Obama in order to express their support of video games. Recently, Germany has made gaming headlines, as it is threatening to ban certain types of video games. The ECA is concerned that Pres. Obama may jump on the bandwagon without your input. Brett Schenker, Online Advocacy Manager for the ECA, made the following statement:
Throughout the Presidential race and continuing into his Presidency, President Obama on numerous occasions has said “put the video games away.” As a gamer and a voter, [the ECA is] asking you to email President Obama to point out some of the ways that video games have empowered and educated you, as well as their power to build teamwork and make people healthier… We know video games can promote fitness. We know games can educate, because we’ve experienced that first hand. Video games are also not solely consumption entertainment as we’re being challenged to create content for some of our favorite games. We’re a part of the new global choice for entertainment and the community it’s spawned. We’re asking you to speak out now and put a positive face on our community. Make sure to let the President know what we experience every day. Take a moment and make your voice heard. |
