Help LFG, Join Now!
POSTED BY admin // January 17, 2012 // 87 responses
The best way to help us fight legislation like PIPA, is to join our blog and sign our petition to the ESA to have them withdraw their support for PIPA and future legislation such as SOPA.
LFG is open to both developers and gamers.
Sign up to the League For Gamers here!

It is an honor to stand by people who aren’t afraid to walk the walk!
We at TOROcast.com are completely against PIPA and SOPA and fully support the LFG in its fight against the two laws.
Great to have you guys on board! Much thanks!
Even something as powerful as an avalanche starts with but a few tiny snow flaks.
…flakes. Should not make comments before coffee. However Snow Flak does bring some interesting images to mind.
Anyway, good luck guys! Here is to an excellent beginning!
Well done and best of luck! I know I believe in the cause you have so ably outlined. HUZZAH!
Signed the petition and join the site. Keep up the good work!
You guys at Red 5 are just pure class. I may not be a big internet celebrity, but I’m just as proud to put my name down against this!
Any time, any place, will always be there to help gamers and the internet stay true.
Please to join with you in support of the cause! HUZZAH!
Of course learning to spell would help. >.> PLEASED to join with you in support of the cause even.
Actually…I’m PLEASED to join with you in support. Geez…*swigs coffee*
You have my Sword League of gamers!
And my shield!
Maybe. Just maybe their boys can protect this legislation.
Yeah, and maybe I’m a Chinese jet pilot.
And my axe!
With my arrows, love them knees.
And my bunny bracelet!
Someone else did all the hard work you say? Sign me up.
This is something I can support.
This is something I too can support.
You guys are real heroes – it’s an honor to take part in your campaign for free speech for the internet and for all of us as gamers and internet citizens. Keep up the good work, everyone!
I am not american but american’s have to wake up and realize these bills would crush freedom of speech. Furthermore these bills plus the NDAA which past could very well lead to world war 3 but this time it is likely the good old USA would = Nazi Germany!
I’ve met many US WW2 vets and I must say even if this does not ease into WW3, It essentially breaks everything your country has stood for, so stand up against this evil and injustice!
really great idea this shows how big the community is NOW LETS STOP THIS SHIT THE INTERNET IS ARES DOESNT BELONG A BUNCH OVER WEIGHT OVER PAID BASTERD
Greetings and salutations!
I believe we the people have the power to prevent further atrocities and freedoms from being removed by those in power seeking to oppress and manipulate the citizens of the world.
The quote from Edmund Burke comes to mind:
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
With that said, I proudly stand among League for Gamers; I am honored to be in the presence of those who demonstrate courage and do good on their word(s), in the hopes to stand up against those who would see us without our rights.
Thank you, for your efforts.
I’m here to stand up and make a difference. I’ve been telling my friends about SOPA/PIPA, and I called my representative speaking out against SOPA. Now I’m honored that so many others have a place where we can unify and speak out for our cause. For freedom!
I am happy to do my part for the cause.
You can count myself and ScrewAttack in on this.
I’m glad that me just a low level gamer can help you fight against this evil.
Strength in numbers. The fact that SOPA is on the shelf and PIPA is in retreat shows the Internet can make a difference. We hope this will be a defining moment in politics where the Internet finally wakes up and bands together to make our voices heard.
Another gamer cocked and ready to go! Signed the petition and have already previously emailed the ESA and a number of it’s members as suggested by Jim @ Destructoid.
They’ve shelved it for now but like all parasites SOPA won’t die easily and will eventually turn up again in another form and groups like LFG are very much needed for the fight.
So thanks for starting a REAL group for gamers against censorship!
Don’t forget PIPA (Protect IP) is very much alive and backed by the ESA! We still need action.
We at the Brazilian site Muitosupremo.com.br also support the actions of LFG against SOPA and PIPA.
Consider me ready to take a stand against SOPA/PIPA and against the ESA that continues to back this nonsense. The ESA and the companies that still reside within it are getting nothing from me and that is a conviction I intend to uphold.
I am a 34 year old gamer who is sick and tired of people who have never even played a video game or have any knowledge of the internet making decisions on legislation for this industry.
The fact that these people are trying to force through legislation based on Corperate Pressure to pass laws that are not only are open to abuse but WILL be abused in favor of corperate greed and protectionism.
Time to pick a side boys and girls.
You most defiantly have my support. Lets end SOPA/PIPA and stop the ESA from continuing supporting these awful bill.
Anything that takes a stand against SOPA/PIPA is aces in my book. You have the support of myself and Shogun Gamer (and therefor Canada?). Keep fighting the good fight!
The nerds stand at the READY!
From within the VG industry, most of us are supporting any action against SOPA.
Thanks for stepping up!
Will share!
The Chiftes gaming community (Cyprus) is supporting you 100%. Down with SOPA!
Glad someone is making a stand. My website may be small, but we are right there with you!
Fantastic!
The entire staff of MMORPG.com is behind you, LFG!
Awesome! Thank you so much for your support!
Never since the “video games crash” of the mid eighties have I been so concerned about the state of the games industry. I’ve never felt the need to voice my concerns before, sure that the industry could look after itself.
Publishers hype, support SOPA/PITA, add forms of DRM, insinuate all gamers are pirates, require gamers to agree to an almost zero rights EULA, and then wonder why gamers don’t buy their products.
The games industry crashed in the mid eighties simply because one too many crap games was published; the bond of consumer trust was broken. There are certain publishers I don’t trust anymore and I will never buy another game published by them again.
I know it cuts both ways publishers want to trust gamers too. A reasonable compromise needs to be found between gamer and publisher that doesn’t infringe on my right to privacy or free speech.
From Florida with love, LFG! My fellow game makers and I are with you.
Thanks for this platform to stand on guys!
The Stop the Meter campaign was a success in Canada and the group is still fighting against the telecom companies to bring in a better market for consumers. If this group can manage even half of something comparable I’ll consider it a win.
Huge thanks to Mr. Kern and Red 5 Studios, along with Reddit, League of Legends, Runic Games, Wikipedia, and Google for standing up to SOPA and PIPA! The way the legislation was written it was like treating someone with cancer with a chainsaw. Not the right approach and would have done more harm than good.
LFG has my support!
Like a wave…
Awesome idea, glad to be here.
I am so against this as my site would die.
Registered and ready to support the league!
Kudos to Red 5 and every organization, company or individual that publicly came out against SOPA and PIPA.
behind you all the way
Outpostgamez.com has signed the petition, while also going DARK in support of all those other websites that are against this unlawful, unconstitutional legislation!
We stand together until this SOPA/PIPA dies!
Joined and fully supporting LFG, Lock ‘n Load!
Glad to join.
As News Editor to a gaming website, I am fully against SOPA and PIPA, and you can bet your sweet asses that I’m joining LFG in its fight against this incredibly unfair legislation that will change the our Freedom of Speech, as we know it, in an entirely negative way.
Rock on all y’all LFG!!!
Posted this site on the forums of City of Heroes.
In a time like this, the heroes and villains have to unite for the greater good.
Great! Help spread the word through other gaming communities!
it is funny to think that this is being pushed and funded by the entertainment industry, there have been may times that i know that i have been on youtube and watched a video with a catchy song or really awesome preview and that same day i bought there song or movie. and also with watching congress talk about this bill they dont even know what this bill does, so how can they make a choice like this?
The ESA is holding on to old models. It’s time to make and distributes games in a new way, by building convenience and features that users want…and giving games away for free.
You have another gamer ready to fight the fight. I am against SOPA and PIPA and any future control efforts of censoring the internet.
I and my team at anjelsyndicate.org gladly sign the petition, join up, and take a stand against SOPA, PIPA, Censorship, and stupid politics in general.
I’m not in the US but I believe SOPA and PIPA are horrible things. LFG has my support.
I drink my coffee and read this wonderful article .. Thank you!
Glad to be a part of what will hopefully be a solution to all this nonsense.
You guys rock.
This bill is ridiculous and for what little it’s worth, gamzrbad.com and myself are in no way going to be involved in any ESA event or the reviewing or even mentioning of any games premiered, showcased or have anything to do with any ESA function.
I have a dream…
Looking forward to seeing what comes of this. Good on you, LFG.
another aspect that nobody seems to take in count about it

This is a great thing.
Here is to hoping that this takes off, this is could become a shot of adrenaline into the gaming industry. Having a voice for all the Indie Programmers, the Players, the People of this culture that is the people is what we need. Mad props to Mark and everyone involved in this venture. This has great potential to grow over the years into a large group with serious weight behind it. You will have my support throughout this.
Best of luck.
we need you, i have been a pc gamer since pong that has watched the goverment f*ck up everything it touches while being backed by special intrest lobbyist’s that have sold out our country in the name of profit.
im 50 and no im not wearing a tin foil hat yet.
SOPA/PIPA are disgusting. They turn my stomach and make me want to spew my lunch in the ESA’s and my very own Texas representatives’ faces for having the audacity to trample my very human rights in such a… well, Nazi fashion.
I fought hard to protect the freedoms I now enjoy. I took a bullet to my right leg, a bullet to my right abdomen, and shrapnel in my left arm for those freedoms. I watched as many who I otherwise considered my family and friends, people I’d have happily given my life for, are wounded and killed in the defense of these freedoms.
This is what we come home to…? Really?
This is what we fought, what we continue to fight for?
Their privilege (NOT right… they can be stripped of office quite easily and by our whim) to take away our RIGHTS?
I am disgusted. My wife is disgusted. My child is disgusted. My guild with whom I have led and played with for a decade are disgusted. My unit, these great men and women who fight to suppress tyranny such as this with their lives, are disgusted.
LFG, it is a heavy burden. Continue our fight domestically that we must fight abroad. Keep our home safe from tyranny for us, so we have something worthwhile to return home to.
Thank you.
