Games Thirst – Amazing Life
The Supreme Court of the United States has declared the videogames industry the winner in the EMA (Entertainment Merchants Association) vs Brown case that has ran for over six years.
The ruling was critical, as it would decide the constitutional rights of a law which would have governed the sale of videogames to minors. In the end, though, the video games industry won, with a ruling coming in at 7-2 against California.
The bill was written by California senator Yeland Lee and was passed into law by former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2005. Schwarzenegger’s name was removed from the case after Jerry Brown became governor.
According to justice Antonin Scalia, the California bill “does not comport with the 1st Amendment.”

A well deserved victory for the industry today.
