The ESA Nabs Crave, KOEI, and Playlogic

The Entertainment Software Association continues to play “gotta catch ’em all” with small publishers, adding Crave, KOEI, and Playlogic to its ever-growing roster. It still amazes me that the ESA has an ever-growing roster following the rash of companies leaving last year, but the ESA continues to take smaller publishers into the fold. Just last week they added Trion [[link]] and XSEED in a double announcement, and now they score a triple play with Crave, KOEI, and Playlogic. Why so many new additions? https://kotaku.com/esa-welcomes-trion-and-xseed-5220503 “Our growing membership is a reflection of the ESA’s valued and successful work on the key public [[link]] policy issues facing the entertainment software industry,” said Michael D. Gallagher, CEO of the ESA. “Crave Entertainment, KOEI and Playlogic are key partners in leading that effort, and I am pleased to [[link]] welcome them to the ESA.” To put it simply, smaller companies can benefit from the ESA’s support, while the larger ones can handle things on their own. https://kotaku.com/activision-left-the-esa-because-well-theyre-just-too-5023640
