Makers of the critically acclaimed (and hated) Halo series, has recently stated that they are against SOPA, a bill introduced in October that would give unprecedented ability to law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online piracy.
Bungie publicly stated ‘any legislation that curtails free speech, stifles innovation, and prevents the open sharing of information on the Internet.‘ Essentially mirroring others' opinions on the matter.
Bungie now joins the ranks of; Nvidia, Runic Games, Riot Games, Frozenbyte, CD Projekt RED, and Notch in the fight against SOPA. Hopefully, this announcement will give courage to other big names in the gaming industry to voice their opinion on the matter, if they have been holding back for whatever reasons.
I, for one, fully support anyone standing up against this ridiculous bill, as well as applaud their efforts and courage to speak out.
agreed!
