Michael Gallagher keeps a very busy schedule in Washington, D.C. as the president and CEO of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The lawyer is constantly working on behalf of the U.S. video game industry, talking to government officials and playing a key role in the Supreme Court case that Arnold Schwarzenegger originally brought to the courts. With another successful E3 trade show in Los Angeles, Gallagher talks about the state of the industry and the role E3 plays in the global game industry in this exclusive video interview.
The Entertainment Software Association, better known as the ESA, has been violating the privacy of a list of media-related attendees of the gaming industry’s largest event for an undisclosed amount of time. Just hours ago, Sophia Narwitz, an independent journalist who recently resigned from her position as a senior writer for Niche Gamer, released a video.
Video games generated $43.4 billion in overall sales in 2018 in the United States, growth of 18 percent over the prior year, and Washington state ranks third in the country in the total number of active video game studios, according to the latest numbers from the NPD Group and the Entertainment Software Association.
Neocrisis - Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the group who owns and operates E3, has released a video about E3 2018. This year’s E3 has more than 200 exhibitors showcasing the newest video game titles and technology. It’s all about innovation, investment, and impact.
