The US-based Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced that Activision-Blizzard and Tencent have joined the trade association, raising the membership to 37 companies. Both companies join Microsoft, Sony, Deep Silver, Square-Enix, Konami, and Electronic Arts, among others, as members of the Association.
Activision-Blizzard is best known, of course, for World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and other major videogame franchises, while Tencent is, among other things, one of the major Chinese MMO and social networking games companies.
The ESA’s major goal in recent years has been fighting anti-videogame violence laws that have proven regularly and without fail to be un-Constitutional in the United States.
