By now I am sure everyone is acutely aware of the Blackout that took place yesterday. A bunch of sites including Destructoid went down for a bit to protest theSOPA and PIPA bills. Other protesters included Red 5, the studio behind the upcoming free-to-play MMOFPS,Firefall,and some website called Wiki… something. I can’t remember.
FormerWorld of WarcraftProject lead Mark Kern and current CEO of Red 5 did his part by starting a petition onChange.organd a new organization designed to counter the ESA and their policy- theLeague for Gamersand Destructoid will be hosting a alive interview with Red 5 tomorrow at 4pm PST.
