@ Moogle OH NOES YOU EXPOSED MY PLAN!!!!!!!!!111111


Actually I was just making a statement on why people shouldn't hate them. I have also been around abandonia enough to also know that being "Mature" isn't what gets you respect here with the admins. I was just opening up a discussion and even if I do change one persons view on the ESA I will at least feel that this topic was useful.

yeah sure.
Theese kind of topics have been done 2 billion trillion times, as I said before. Making a new one won't change anybodys minds, in fact, as pretty much everybody has said, it just further confirms the obvious. Use common sense, this topic has been done before, this is an abandonware site, even Seb dislikes the ESA, thoose points are all clear as day without being said

1. The ESA isn't created solely for attacking abandonwarez websites. It is for protecting any games from being freely distributed as warez. Not just old games.

No duh, anybody with half a mind, or even with no mind, who has looked at the site and seen "no go" with the "ESA" label behind it is going to know this.

2. The ESA is a organazation that is bent on preserving free speach and the rights of the newest and greatest artform in the world, Gaming! The job of the ESA is to protect and combat the attempts of Hillary Clinton, Joe Leiberman and a lot of other Democrats and a few Republicans bent on restricting the M rated video games that are sold in america.

Actually its not, as stated by the ESA itself

The ESA Foundation is dedicated to supporting positive programs and opportunities that will make a difference in the quality of life, health and welfare of America's youth.

(taken from the ESA website) "Positive programs and opportunities that will make a difference in the quality of life, healf, and welfare of America's youth". Does that sound like GTA to you!?

3. The only reason violent games are still sold in america and many countrys is because of the ESA protecting free speach. If they weren't america would have already of begun restricting m rated games and many countries would have followed suit.

Uh huh...lets look at this shall we. The main reason of the M rated restriction is Hot Cofee yes? Now, Rockstar argues against the restriction and A rating of GTA : SA because while hot coffee is actually in the game, it isn't playable without a third party application / mod / file. Also, many various other well know "gamers" protest about this, ESA may help, but it is hardly the "only reason".

Can we close this now LOL.
