ECA Takes Over GamePolitics.com, Talks Mission

simoniker writes "The new Entertainment Consumers Association has announced that it has acquired the GamePolitics.com website, as part of its mission 'to give gaming consumers a voice and ensure that state and local politicians hear their concerns and appreciate their demographic power'. An in-depth interview with ECA founder Hal Halpin explains his reasons for setting up membership-based, consumer-focused ECA: 'I noticed last year that the state-level guys started moving away from targeting retailers, and trying to haul them off for selling M-rated games, to targeting consumers. And, you know, kids being [arrested] at 17 years of age for buying an M-rated game... it's just insane. And so, to me, that was the call.'"

Re:What Does This Have to do with Politics???!!

Is ECA a governmental organization or something? Looks lik a private organization to me. This story isn't really political and shouldn't be in the politics section.

I think you should probably look up the definition of "democracy." Throw in "lobbyist" while you're at it.
