A veteran game designer has gone and released a full-on top-down dungeon crawling, open world, old school Ultima-style RPG with a boatload of modern conveniences for the low, low price of absolutely free. Moonring is a really simple to get into retro-RPG with some neat systems and a fun world to explore where five moons represent the five gods, each of whom chooses and guides humans—except for those like you, the dreamless, who must choose their own destiny.
ESA hires Senate vet Barnhart as SVP of government affairs
14.09.2023 - 10:33 / pcgamesinsider.biz
US video games trade body the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has hired Christianna Barnhart as its senior vice president of government affairs.
She previously has worked in the US Senate twice; the first round was between 2011 and 2014, when she held attorney advisor and acting legal advisor positions. Barnhart's second stint was from 2019 until the present day, starting as a senior communications and technology policy counsel before rising to senior counsel for the committee on commerce, science and transportation.
That's on top of positions in the private sector, including a role as VP of regulator affairs for Charter Communications.
“Christi’s legislative and regulatory experience will add depth and strength to the ESA team, and we are thrilled at the opportunity to leverage her deep expertise in intellectual property, technology and telecommunications policy,” ESA president Stanley Pierre-Louis said.
“For the past several decades, the interactive entertainment industry has been at the forefront of technological innovation, and Christi’s experience will be invaluable to demonstrating the impact and potential of this dynamic industry to policymakers and regulators.”
Barnhart added: “For nearly thirty years, the ESA has done incredible work advancing the interests of the U.S. video game industry and has been instrumental in ensuring the industry’s continued vitality and innovation. I look forward to working with policymakers to demonstrate the powerful economic impact and positive benefits video games have on American lives.”

E3 somehow gets even deader as event organiser departs by 'mutual consent', ESA says no no it's still alive we promise
Events company ReedPop, which has been partnering with the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) for the past 14 months, will not be working on future E3 events. Reedpop has a good track record with live events, most recently organising PAX West in Seattle the past weekend, but didn't run a single E3 in that admittedly short timespan, with this year's event being cancelled due to a lack of involvement from the industry's big players.
