id Software leaves the ESA... more coming?
Looks like my post last week that a few publishers leaving the ESA might not be so big a deal could turn out to be wrong.
GamePolitics reports that id Software has left the ESA. That's no. 4 of the D.C. trade group's 28 members who have left recently (though to be fair, Vivendi leaving doesn't really count since there very soon will no longer be a Vivendi Games).
And as GamePolitics reports, and I can also confirm through what I've been hearing, "there are rumors of additional potential exits."
When will enough publishers have left the ESA that it reaches some sort of a breaking point where we have to start questioning whether the ESA could be falling apart? How many publishers does it have to still represent in order to safely say it is the industry's trade group?
With big names like Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and EA still in there, I think the ESA can still safely make that claim. But if the defections do indeed keep coming as rumors indicate, that question is going to become more and more pressing.

I always heard something from my neighbor that he sometimes goes to the internet bar to play the game which will use him some habbo credits，he usually can win a lot of habbo gold，then he let his friends all have some habbo coins，his friends thank him very much for introducing them the cheap habbo credits，they usually buy habbo gold together.
