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 the SOPA 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.
Former World of Warcraft Project lead Mark Kern and current CEO of Red 5 did his part by starting a petition on Change.org and a new organization designed to counter the ESA and their policy- the League for Gamers and Destructoid will be hosting a a live interview with Red 5 tomorrow at 4pm PST.
