The Entertainment Software Association seems to be losing a lot of major players lately.  LucasArts pulled out last week, followed by Activision Blizzard earlier this week, and now iD software.  EA has stated they have no intention of leaving, but nevertheless, this smells strongly of a divisive precipitating event that’s cleaving apart the ESA’s members.  I find it hard to believe that this is a coincidence, so what’s the triggering factor?
