Supreme Court may decide the future of video games
Soon, the U.S. Supreme Court may decide whether to hear a case that could have a lasting impact on computer and video games.
The case before the Court involves a law passed by the state of California attempting to criminalize the sale of certain computer and video games. Two previous courts rejected the California law as unconstitutional, but soon the Supreme Court could have the final say.
Whatever the Court's ruling, we must be prepared to continue defending our rights now and in the future. To do so, we need a large, powerful movement of gamers to speak with one voice and show that we won't sit back while lawmakers try to score political points by scapegoating video games and treating them differently than books, movies, and music. If the Court decides to hear the case, we’re going to need thousands of activists to help defend computer and video games by writing letters to editors, calling into talk radio stations, and educating Americans about our passion for and appreciation of computer and video games.
Every movement starts with people – lots of people. So take a moment to invite your friends and fellow gamers to join the Video Game Voters Network.
Click here to ask everyone you know to stand up for our gaming rights. And let’s make it clear that gamers will continue to stand up for free speech -- and that the numbers are on our side.
