Video Game Voters Network: 10,000 strong in first week

By Ross Miller

The Video Game Voters Network, established March 13th by the ESA, has since then grown to over 10,000 members. Said ESA President Doug Lowenstein, "With the average age of gamers at 30, and the core audience at ages 18 to 35, our goal is to demonstrate that video gamers can be a political force. In the months ahead, we look forward to working with Video Gamer Voters Network members to make sure their views reach policymakers at the Federal, state, and local levels."

The numbers presented here are promising, and we hope that voting age gamers will take note and, at the very least, take a look at the issues and be informed on what is going on in their local, state, and federal legislators. This is a great step for the games industry to start standing up and taking a stance against reactionary anti-game legislation. Any Joystiquers join the network?
