@TheHumanDove said: occupy SOPOAAPAAPDUR thank you for your intelligent post, not at all a strawman there. Also, all of this "I want my fucking news" shit is basically assuming that publishers can't announce anything without E3. Breaking news, there are these things called press releases. Your fucking game news will turn up eventually. To avoid combating a hugely destructive bill like SOPA just to get some news, only 1/3 of which will actually matter in a year is shortsighted.

While I agree that issues such as SOPA and PIPA are a much much higher priority to us as a consumer, the big difference here would be the year-to-year income a company like Whiskey makes. People who want their news from Giant Bomb during E3 are the customers that help keep this site going; asking for a site to not cover such a big event is like asking a retail store to close during the Christmas season, and telling people off for their want to consume the content they want during one of the most important time for a company is just ludicrous should you want that company to continue.

Ultimately the best thing that each and every website could do is to keep the knowledge or discussion going on the state of SOPA and PIPA, as so many did on the 18th.
