With Mark Kern getting back into the thick of it after tussling with the Game Journo Pros on social media, he decided that instead of trying to appeal to the corrupt bastions of housing games journalists who attacked him and blocked him, why not just be proactive? With that said, Kern decided to revitalize the League For Gamers consumer advocacy group in the wake of all the media slandering attacking consumers who rally under #GamerGate.

Over on Twitter Kern made it known that…

“Fantastic follower pickup! Thank you for your support! Keep spreading the word, @League4Gamers represents *you*, the consumer!

 

“Well, for something *completely* unplanned, I’m thrilled with how LFG is working out so far @League4Gamers TY!

 

“LFG is going to take it slow, one initiative at a time. First order is to get the website up and running. @League4Gamers

 

“For those asking, yes, I am the sole owner of @League4Gamers and am relaunching it as a consumer advocacy site for gaming.”

It’s no joke. If you go on over to Twitter you’ll see that League For Gamers is now back up and running. Check it out.

That’s right… this is in direct result of #GamerGate and a lot of the unethical and corrupt press that has come out of the whole situation. Nepotism, cronyism, collusion, antitrust laws and federal advertising standards being ignored, breached and molested by the uncaring practices of major games and mainstream media.

For those of you who don’t remember, the Twitter account of League4Gamers – operated by the one and only Mark Kern – states…

“League For Gamers was founded to fight Sopa/Pipa and was dormant for many years. We are relaunched as a consumer advocacy site for games.”

“We also consider ourselves global in scope, and invite all members from all countries.”

This is very true. Way back in the day L4G was fighting the good fight against SOPA/PIPA while Kern was heading up the Red 5 Studios team working on FireFall.

With grassroots level consumer advocacy still vibrant and strong in gamer-grown communities like Kotaku in Action, The Escapist forums and 8chan, it’s nice to have a middle-tier organization like League4Gamers that can interact with the community and use the reach into the development community to help get some change and action going.

Consider this another major victory for consumers using the GamerGate hashtag. If you want to help League4Gamers grow and foster the kind of social muscle necessary to move mountains and shake the Earth, feel free to give a follow on Twitter or spread the logo around. #GamerGate just helped the gaming industry level up when it comes to consumer protection. Let’s hope this all works out in the long run.
