- gamespy -
It's official: Doug Lowenstein, the current President and one of the founders of the Entertainment Software Association, is stepping down. The ESA was originally called the Interactive Digital Software Association, or IDSA. It was founded in 1994 and became the ESA in 2003. Lowenstein is departing in early 2007.
In a press release announcing his plans, Lowenstein says, "I have been honored to represent the amazing companies of the ESA, to serve as their advocate and to be part of an industry which is having such a profound and positive effect on our culture and the world of entertainment. Like our industry, the ESA has grown and matured and is now stronger and more robust than ever before. The future of video games and its trade association is very bright indeed." The ESA is dedicated to serving the needs of videogame companies, handheld device manufacturers, PC makers, and Internet companies. Lowenstein is leaving to pursue a new career in the investment industry. A search for a replacement for Lowenstein is already underway.
