Wait...CHINESE people are mad at something being copied too much? They must be raging every day.

There's obvious irony here that it's seemingly only people in China, of all countries, that are upset about this.

True. I’m just surprised that people upset about copying is coming from China of all places.

ironic that this happens in China.

[benjipwns]

We need a new word for this because this level of malfeasance isn't a "leak."

Publicly accessible private info is terrible and the ESA deserves to be sued for this because we all know how bad gamergate crowd is.

At the same time I hope this leads to some push back from game devs and publishers because most of them have been ignoring or downplaying how toxic or dangerous some of their fans are and they have some responsibility in shaping that subculture.

Others will take its place. If I'm an exhibitor, member of the press, content creator, VIP, I'm looking to join a class action or hoping a prosecutor's office somewhere is building a case for criminal negligence against the ESA. This breach isn't the sort of thing that should blow over after a fine. It was bad enough in 2015 when psychopaths had to work to unearth their targets' info. Now the ESA has just handed it over for free.

Jesus Christ.

Press should boycott E3 2020.

God that's a horrifying fuck up! The ESA needs to get sued to oblivion.

I hope everyone who's affected by this stays safe.

[benjipwns]

This is incredibly frightening for those involved, what horrendous mismanagement from the ESA and they've now put lives at risk.

I can't help but think of the KyoAni incident and how many volatile, angry men there are in the games community who seem to blame the games media for so much. I hope everyone stays safe and we never have to witness something like that again.

Never unfortunately, like most of the professionals all the IGN people have the corporate address listed.

Thankfully, the rest of the list can be used for the gamercide.

[BisMarckie]

Remember when multiple resetera members doxed themselves by registering with  their real name instead of their username when the site opened? 

[benjipwns]

They are going to get sued into the ground. Some of the world's biggest companies are on there.

Lawsuits incoming?

This has people from Amazon, Google, Tencent, BBC, CNN etc on it. So yeah, absolutely.

ResetERA.com, where nobody actually looks at the list to see that these large companies don't have their employees write down their home address rather than the official corporate address.

People have died of this. Innocent people.

For this to happen with the existence of nutty GG types obsessed with attacking industry workers is terrifying.

What a nightmare. Criminal negligence from the ESA.

There are probably so many people fucking terrified right now and I feel so fucking awful for them. Public data leaks and it's awful and shitty, but gamers are a special brand of dangerous obsessive vindictive assholes who will absolutely use this against some writer and god forbid their families.

The ESA should be paying damages to these people in perpetuity across the universe.

If anything is going to kill ESA and E3, this is it. I would not be surprised if E3 was sold off to another company within the year.

[benjipwns]

E3 sold off to another organization that represents all the major gaming companies right?

As of June 2019, the following companies are members of the ESA[22]

505 Games
Activision Blizzard
Bandai Namco Entertainment
Bethesda Softworks
Bungie
Capcom
Deep Silver
Disney Interactive Studios
Electronic Arts
Epic Games
Focus Home Interactive
Gearbox Software
GungHo Online Entertainment
Intellivision Entertainment
Kalypso Media
Konami
Legends of Learning
Magic Leap
Natsume
NCSoft
Nexon
Nintendo
Nvidia
Outright Games
Phosphor Studios
Rebellion Developments
Riot Games
SEGA
Six Foot
Sony Interactive Entertainment
Paracosma
Square Enix
Take-Two Interactive
Tencent
THQ Nordic
Triseum

that last had a member exodius over...shrinking E3:

Several companies opted not to renew their membership in the ESA in May 2008, including Activision, Vivendi Games, LucasArts and id Software. This followed from the ESA's option to change in the E3 format in 2007, which significantly reduced the size and venue

and lobbies like crazy:

“When it comes to lobbying, the "main industry group" that individual companies defer to is the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which spent $4.83 million on its own in 2012 — more than Facebook, Google, or even the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The ESA needs to effectively receive the equal and opposite reaction. Stab them in the wallet and set it on fire. Pay the victims damages and offer identity theft protection in perpetuity across the universe. Whatever could be done for these people the ESA should be forced to do.

Right now I cringe at the thought of the anxiety this is causing those 2000 individuals and their families and wish them the best.

I swear to god all 2000 journalists need to get a lawsuit started ASAP because the ESA cannot be allowed to skate by with a shitty apology.

If anything, ANYTHING happens to a single person on that list, ESA will have it on their hands.

The ESA needs to be sued out of existence for this shit. This is absurd.

This has to be the end for E3. Outrageous.

Disgusting... asking for home adresses without any kind of security...

ESA should not have any more info than a name and corporate e-mail adress.

I hope all 2000 unite to sue his ass out.

oh, that small problem of the major corporate members being unable to sue or have any desire to cross the ESA and publishers

Those Ninja threads are the most Soccer Mom ERA thing ever.
"It's not a REAL job !"
"Getting paid to play videogame." 
"What a world..." 
"No way they paid him more than a couple of millions."

Like I can understand the moral argument of the money in sport and entertainment being obscene... But it's pretty weird to see gamers (even self hating ones), familiar with video streaming in general, being so out of touch.

And that is without even touching the hellish takes on Microsoft budget allocation.
