The Entertainment Software Association has launched a new Digital Citizenship program with California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
"Numerous independent studies show that game play has positive impacts on social awareness, creative thinking, and classroom learning,” said Erik Huey, senior vice president at ESA, the U.S. trade association representing computer and video game publishers. “By partnering with EverFi, we are using digital learning and gaming to empower students across Los Angeles with the skill set to understand the nuts and bolts of how technology works and leverage these tools safely and effectively.”
ESA offers services to interactive entertainment software publishers, including conducting business and consumer research, providing legal and policy analysis and advocacy on First Amendment, intellectual property and technology/e-commerce issues, managing a global anti-piracy program, owning and operating E3, and representing video game industry interests in federal and state government relations.
