EA on ESA Departures

GamesIndustry.biz quotes EA saying recent public departures from the ESA reflect
a "lack of leadership" in the trade group: Speaking exclusively to
GamesIndustry.biz during a recent event at EA Canada, Jeff Brown, the
publisher's VP or corporate communications, said: "I think having [Activision
and Vivendi] pull out of the ESA reflects an unfortunate lack of leadership.

"They're a big company and we feel that when you're a big company you've got a
responsibility to consumers to work on policy issues which are very, very
important to consumers. And the best way to do that is with an industry
consensus. That's the way it's been done with the ESA in the US, and with ELSPA
in the UK."

Brown added that EA was not reconsidering its position, but urged the ESA to
make a strong case to remaining members for their ongoing participation.
