Frustrated by the Entertainment Software Associations (ESA) support of the proposed anti-piracy SOPA and PIPA legislation, Red 5 Studios CEO Mark Kern has founded the League For Gamers (LFG), which intends to advocate for developers and gamers rights and give them a voice in Washington.
LFG President and Red 5 Studios CEO Mark Kern is a former World of Warcraft team lead and a graduate of Boston University School of Law. Speaking to VentureBeat, Mark Kern criticized the ESA as too focused on the large publisher, box retail product motif part of their support for PIPA and SOPA st
LFG was funded with a $50,000 pledge by Mark Kern and is currently filing for non-profit status. The next step is opening up a paid membership program with benefits that, according to Kern, will foster gaming, in addition to representing gamers in Washington. We aim to be the NRA for gamers.
