ESA Adds Two Publishers

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced the addition of its first two new members of 2010.

Deep Silver, a publishing division of Koch Media, was launched in 2002 and has published over 60 titles. Fellow new member Slang, who specializes in publishing Hispanic-themed titles, will launch its first game (Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring) this summer.

ESA President Michael Gallagher on the additions:

Deep Silver’s and Slang’s membership in the ESA reflects the diversity of our industry. ESA’s growing roster also highlights the continued importance of our goals of protecting intellectual property rights, preventing piracy, and upholding freedom of speech.

With the two new members, the ESA now counts twenty-nine members in all.
