The Entertainment Consumer Association is a non-profit organization that lobbies for gamers' interests.
Throughout history the establishment has always been afraid of new things that they don't understand - from the waltz to rock and roll. These days gaming is the new kid on the block and I'm sick of the media and politicians ignorantly blaming it whenever some lunatic shoots someone. With the ECA around there's finally someone to counter the rhetoric and hyperbole.
In addition to this, I found out from an article on Kotaku that one of the membership benefits of ECA membership is 10% off of gaming purcahses on Amazon. As membership costs $20 and games cost about $60, you break even if you buy at least three games a year. So not only can you help a cause that's dear to your heart, but you can effectively do it for free!
