Gaming Trade Organization ELSPA Mulling Name Change

Posted March 19, 2010 by David Radd

The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) today announced that they are changing their name. The change was proposed today at a general meeting, where it was suggested that the trade organization change their name to the “UK Interactive Entertainment Association” to better reflect their role.

"The ELSPA Board proposed the change to the organization's name to reflect the evolving and expanding nature of the industry, which the association exists to represent, and to encompass the new areas of activity that will be undertaken," said the ELSPA in a statement. "The organization will continue to operate as ELSPA, whilst the trade association and its brand develop to reflect the needs of the industry going forward. ELSPA will be engaging regularly with its members during the process to learn their views and wishes for the new organization. The process will be completed before the summer. After this time the trade association's new mission and image will be unveiled."

David Radd has worked as a gaming journalist since 2004 at sites such as GamerFeed, Gigex and GameDaily Biz.

In October 2006, the Entertainment Consumers Association was established as the first non-profit membership organization formed to represent American computer and video game consumers. The ECA was formed, in part, in response to the seemingly imbalanced representation of the games industry in comparison to game consumers in the United States Congress.top voip service

It is little surprise, then, to find that the approximately 60 million American bison that were nearly hunted to extinction in Real Life are represented here as a herd of just twenty buffalo. The uncanny thing is that there will never be any more. credit protection service

This change made it impossible for users to control what activities are published on their walls (and consequently the public news feed).
