‘Gears Of War’ Creators Ain’t Down With SOPA. Beefy HGH-Armed High-Five!

A plethora of companies are throwing their weight behind the proposed SOPA bill. Not really caring about its dangerous implications of freedom of speech on the internet or whatever, so long as it cuts down on piracy. Epic Games  ain’t rolling with that posse.

Kotaku:

Epic Games, the people who make Gears of War, Bulletstorm and the Unreal graphics engine has weighed in on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act. A spokesperson writes: “Epic Games supports efforts that would stop overseas websites profiting from pirating our games, but we have to do that in a way that’s compatible with freedom of speech and due process of law. Thus, we do not support the current version of SOPA.

Impressive. Most impressive.
