With the recently published list of lost members of the American Entertainment Software Association id software now joins in as well.

After Blizzard, Activision and LucasArts id software now is the fourth developer of the originally 28 software procuers who left the ESA. id itself hasn't confirmed their quitting yet, but rumours have it that more ESA-members are likely to leave.

With that beeing said, Americas largest electronic and gaming exhibition, the Eł, now has lost yet another great attraction.

ESA's Rich Taylor:
We can confirm that id Software has decided not to renew its membership in the ESA. We admire their creativity and innovation. We also respect their decision.

The ESA continues to lead the thriving video and computer game industry. We are dedicated to protecting intellectual property, preserving First Amendment rights and fostering a beneficial environment for the entire entertainment software industry.
